Can you post the code you use to convert that string into a DateTime? — Frédéric Hamidi

@Marcus - only in "weird" countries. ;P (dd/MM/yyyy vs. MM/dd/yyyy fight! popcorn) — Corak

DateTime.ParseExact(
        "4/4/2010 4:20:00 PM", 
        "M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss tt", 
        CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

He can parse with PM using ParseExact

I've changed the example. You must give the tt format with it.

You can try something like using DateTime.ParseExact using Custom Date and Time Format Strings

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("18/07/2013 04:25:28 PM", "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", null);

I propose you the following solution :

DateTime d = DateTime.ParseExact("18/07/2013 04:25:28 PM", 
              "dd/MM/yyyy h:mm:ss tt", 
              CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

To found the format string, I used Custom Date and Time Format Strings in MSDN

DateTime d = DateTime.Parse("18/07/2013 04:25:28 PM");
IFormatProvider culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB", true);
DateTime a = DateTime.ParseExact("18/07/2013 04:25:28 PM", "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", culture);

Added another mechanism...
