In what format date is displayed in textbox?

DateTime SelectedDate;
string Format = "dd/MM/yyyy";
if (DateTime.TryParseExact("12/12/2012", Format, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out SelectedDate))
{
//date is valid, get the date value from SelectedDate
}
else
{
//Not selected/not valid
}
