string dateString = "14/11/2013 16:30:52"; // <-- Valid
string format = "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss";
DateTime dateTime;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(dateString,format,CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,DateTimeStyles.None, out dateTime))
{
Console.WriteLine(dateTime);
}

Either change to

GetDateTime = "16:30:52,14-11-2013";

OR

DateTime.TryParseExact(GetDateTime, "HH:mm:ss,MM-dd-yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out currentDatetime);

Month is in wrong format. hence "Parse" fails.

Is there any month called 14? I think you mean MM-dd-yyyy?
