How to parse a given date string according a particular format string

[Sudha]

I have a set of date format strings.I get a date value as input in the form
of string and the format string which i should use to parse it to create
a datetime object.I dont have the DateFormatInfo details for these formats.Ofcourse
i can parse each date string according to the format specified.But i have
a huge set of formats so the code runs into a huge one .Has anyone faced
with this problem earlier any efficient way for doing this??

Have you looked at DateTime.ParseExact() ?

Why don't you simply use asp calendar as a date input control ?
