试试这个

DateTime myDate = DateTime.Parse(dateString);

一个更好的方法是:

DateTime myDate;
if (!DateTime.TryParse(dateString, out myDate))
{
    // handle parse failure
}

string input;
DateTime db;
Console.WriteLine("Enter Date in this Format(YYYY-MM-DD): ");
input = Console.ReadLine();
db = Convert.ToDateTime(input);

//////// this methods convert string value to datetime
///////// in order to print date

Console.WriteLine("{0}-{1}-{2}",db.Year,db.Month,db.Day);

由于您处理的是基于24小时的时间，并且您使用逗号分隔秒分数，因此我建议您指定一个自定义格式:

DateTime myDate = DateTime.ParseExact("2009-05-08 14:40:52,531", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,fff",
                                       System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

如果您不确定输入值，也可以如下所示使用DateTime.TryParseExact()。

DateTime outputDateTimeValue;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact("2009-05-08 14:40:52,531", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,fff", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out outputDateTimeValue))
{
    return outputDateTimeValue;
}
else
{
    // Handle the fact that parse did not succeed
}

DateTime。解析

语法:

DateTime.Parse(String value)
DateTime.Parse(String value, IFormatProvider provider)
DateTime.Parse(String value, IFormatProvider provider, DateTypeStyles styles)

例子:

string value = "1 January 2019";
CultureInfo provider = new CultureInfo("en-GB");
DateTime.Parse(value, provider, DateTimeStyles.NoCurrentDateDefault););

值:日期和时间的字符串表示形式。 提供者:提供特定区域性信息的对象。 样式:为某些日期和时间解析方法自定义字符串解析的格式化选项。例如，AllowWhiteSpaces是一个值，它有助于忽略字符串中出现的所有空格。

同样值得记住的是，DateTime是一个在框架内部存储为数字的对象，只有当你将它转换回字符串时，Format才适用于它。

解析:将字符串转换为内部数字类型。 将内部数值转换为可读的格式 字符串。

我最近有一个问题，我试图转换一个日期时间传递给Linq，我当时没有意识到的是格式是不相关的，当传递日期时间到Linq查询。

DateTime SearchDate = DateTime.Parse(searchDate);
applicationsUsages = applicationsUsages.Where(x => DbFunctions.TruncateTime(x.dateApplicationSelected) == SearchDate.Date);
