How can I convert string to DateTime by a format?

Convert.ToDateTime("12/11/17 2:52:35 PM")

Result is 12/11/2017 02:52:35 PM and this is incorrect because my expect is 11/17/2012 02:52:35 PM

You're looking for DateTime.ParseExact().

DateTime.ParseExact(myStr, "yy/MM/dd h:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
