Convert a string to datetime

Hi, how would I convert a string containing the following to a datetime?

"26 Sep 2009 (Sat) 11:01:27"

Thanks

You can do:

DateTime date = DateTime.ParseExact("26 Sep 2009 (Sat) 11:01:27", "dd MMM yyyy (ddd) HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

You may need "d" instead of "dd" (if it's "3 Sep ..." or "03 Sep"). Also, I'm assuming 24hr time since you don't have AM/PM.
