C# format a string

I have a String that looks like

4/2/2012 12:00 AM
12/30/1899 10:00 AM

I want to format the strings so the first date/time stamp looks like

4/2/2012

The second should look like

10:00 AM

SHould I use the whitespace as a means to split the string?

For complete string --> 

string s= DateTime.Parse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM").ToString("d/M/yyyy hh:mm tt");

For separated strings -->

string date=DateTime.Parse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM").ToString("d/M/yyyy");
string time = DateTime.Parse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM").ToString("hh:mm tt");

DateTime dt;
if (DateTime.TryParse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM",dt))
{
  String Result = "";
  if (DateTime.Date > DateTime.MinValue)
    Result = dateTime.ToString("d/M/YYYY");
  if (DateTime.TimeOfDay > TimeSpan.MinValue)
    Result += dateTime.ToString("hh:mm tt");
}

DateTime foo = DateTime.Parse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM");
string date = foo.ToShortDateString();
string time = foo.ToShortTimeString();

Have a look here
Just add .Tostring("") and between the "" you add the pattern, as shown at the site

use the following function:

     string dstr = "4/2/2012 12:00";        
     DateTime dtime=Convert.ToDateTime(dstr )
     string dt1 = dtime.ToShortDateString();//to get the date
     string dt2 = dtime.ToShortTimeString();//to get the time
