hi,

you may also use TryParseExact...

try.

DateTime newdate;
var isDate = DateTime.TryParseExact("22-12-2013", "dd-MM-yyyy", null, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None,out newdate);
string myformatDate;
if (isDate)
{
myformatDate = newdate.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy");
}
else
{
myformatDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy");
}
hope this will help you.

Try:

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("22-12-2012", "dd-MM-yyyy", null);
string date = dt.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy");
