Just do this:

var dateTime = DateTime.Parse(inputDate.Text.Trim());

Try

DateTime date;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(inputDate.Text.Trim(), "M/dd/yyyy", enUS, DateTimeStyles.None, out date))
   {
    //Action to use date;
   }
else
   {
    //action to tell user that inputDate.Text is not date string as expected
   }
