C# Date Parse non standard date format

Get a strange date format from web service and am wondering how to parse it to a normal datetime.

Service result: 01-05T09:55 (MM-dd Time)

As this string does not have year it fails in DateTime.Parse.

Any ideas how to get it to the current year without manipulating it with string functions?

You can use below format;

var date = "01-05T09:55";
var dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(date, "MM-ddTHH:mm", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Console.WriteLine(dateTime);

Here is a working example;

Try DateTime.ParseExact and provide the format:

string source = "01-05T09:55";

// 5 Jan 2017 (current year) 9:55
DateTime result = DateTime.ParseExact(source, "M-d'T'H:m", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
