Can someone help me convert the string 14/04/2010 10:14:49.PM to datetime in C#.net without losing the time format?

var date = DateTime.ParseExact(@"14/04/2010 10:14:49.PM", @"dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss.tt", null);
For string representation use
date.ToString(@"dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss.tt");
Also you can create extention method like this:
public enum MyDateFormats
{
FirstFormat,
SecondFormat
}
public static string GetFormattedDate(this DateTime date, MyDateFormats format)
{
string result = String.Empty;
switch(format)
{
case MyDateFormats.FirstFormat:
result = date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss.tt");
break;
case MyDateFormats.SecondFormat:
result = date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
break;
}
return result;
}

The string representation should use hh instead of HH. During parsing the difference is not that big but for output you would get 23h instead of 11h (PM)

The extension method also needs to be static.

ohh, yes. It just because i haven't vs near me. Updated.
DateTime result =DateTime.ParseExact(@"14/04/2010 10:14:49.PM", @"dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.tt",null);
You can now see the PM or AM and null value for format provider

DateTime.Parse(@"14/04/2010 10:14:49.PM");
that should work, not near VS at the moment so i cannot try it
Use convert function
using System;
using System.IO;
namespace stackOverflow
{
class MainClass
{
public static void Main (string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDateTime("14/04/2010 10:14:49.PM"));
Console.Read();
}
}
}

I recommend using DateTime.ParseExact as the Parse method behaves slightly differently according to the current thread locale settings.
DateTime.ParseExact(yourString,
"dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss.tt", null)
