1. string first = "27/04/2010";

string second = "03/03/2006";

string format="dd/mm/yyyy";

DateTime firstparse = DateTime.ParseExact(first, format, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} {2} ",firstparse.Day,firstparse.Month,firstparse.Year);

DateTime secondparse = DateTime.ParseExact(second, format, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} {2} ", secondparse.Day, secondparse.Month, secondparse.Year);

Output is coming as 27 1 2010 and 03 1 2006. But i guess it should come as 27 4 2010 and 03 3 2006.

pls Let me know why?

2. Also i get a frequent error message while debugging as "Unable to copy file obj\Debug\App.Client.exe to bin\Debug\App.Client.exe. The process cannot access the file 'bin\Debug\App.Client.exe' because it is being used by another process. ". Slide attached. Let me know why pls?

1. Try string format="dd/MM/yyyy";

2. Error message while debugging: there could be many possible reasons for this problems,
either your starup project is self referenced for dll : check if it is remove that, Goto Task manager and kill the executable exe, sometime previous still there. try, go to property debug and uncheck unable the visual studio hosting process. try delete all the files from bin>debug and rebuld again. delete .suo file if there in root directory and reopen project again, try to run in single application instance.

Computer right-click goto manage goto Service & Application > service > Enable Application experience.

there could be many possibility for this problem occurance.

1/ That's because you have used small mm which stands for minutes and not month. For month, you should put capital M. So your format should have been dd/MM/yyyy. In general keep the practise of using date as yyyy-MM-dd. This is best suited for communication with computers. Remember how date is stored in computer how it is shown to user are two COMPLETELY different things. With computer always use yyyy-MM-dd, with user use whichever then need.

Also, DateTime is a structure and not a class.

2/ I have not idea about this. Never seen. You must be doing something obviously wrong. Try google the error and you might find an answer.
