    .net datetime parsing cultureinfo
    I have a string that looks like this: “9/1/2009”. I want to convert it to a DateTime object (using C#).This works:DateTime.Parse(“9/1/2009”, new CultureInfo(“en-US”));But I don’t understand why this doesn’t work:DateTime.ParseExact(“9/1/2009”, “M/d/yyyy”, null);There’s no word in the date (like “September”), and I know the specific format, so I’d rather use ParseExact (and I don’t see why CultureInfo would be needed). But I keep getting the dreaded “String was not recognized as a valid DateTime”

    c# .net cultureinfo
    I found one interesting thing in CultureInfo class. I was writting an app in ASP.NET and I was using Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture to get the current selected language and:Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(alias);There was 2 places where I can set the culture of the current thread in one place I was doing like these:Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(“ru”); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(“ru-RU”)

If I use Replace on same string nothing gets replaced.I don’t understand what is happening, so can someone please shed some light on this issue? Application Culture is set on Croatian, it’s not German, and framework version is 3.5.Changing culture to German (de-DE) doesn’t change this strange behavior.Here is the screenshot from the debugger:
