Hoy vamos a explicar cómo se hace para pasar una cadena de caracteres a su versión datetime y viceversa
// String a DateTime
String MiString;
MiString= "1999-09-01 21:34 PM";
//MiString= "1999-09-01 21:34 p.m."; //Depende en la configuración regional
DateTime MiDateTime;
MiDateTime= new DateTime();
MiDateTime= DateTime.ParseExact(MiString, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm tt",null);
Para pasar de formato DateTime a String tendremos que hacer:
//DateTime a String
MiDateTime = new DateTime(1999, 09, 01, 21, 34, 00);
String MiString;
MiString = MiDateTime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm tt");
