DateTime Parse from String with specified format

I am trying to extract datetime info from 

"2012/04/03 10:06:21:611747"

using format 

String dateformat = @"yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss:ffffff";

Getting an exception - any help is appreciated.

Full code

 String dateformat = @"yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss:ffffff";
 readonly CultureInfo _provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
 DateTime dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(line, dateformat, _provider);

Use

String dateformat = @"yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss:ffffff";

Use MM for month.
The exception was ocurring due to confusion in interpreting m at two different places.

Use MM for months:

 String dateformat = @"yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss:ffffff";

Your format should be:

yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss:ffffff

You have a lower case m for month which is incorrect.

Have a look at this answer for more info: .Net: DateTime String format

You should use

String dateformat = @"yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss:ffffff";

MM is for month, while mm is for minutes!!
