I getting a Date value from JavaScript to a controller in MVC and I would like to parse it to .NET format DateTime but its giving me an error such as:

The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

The Format of the JavaScript date is:

Wed May 23 2012 01:40:00 GMT+0200 (W. Europe Daylight Time)

I've tried this but its not working:

DateTime.ParseExact(begin.Substring(1, 24), ddd MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

anyone can give me a sample code please? thanks!

Instead of parsing a textual representation it would be more robust to construct a DateTime from a timestamp instead. To get a timestamp from a JS Date:

var msec = date.getTime();

And to convert msec (which represents a quantity of milliseconds) into a DateTime:

var date = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0); // epoch start

date = date.AddMilliseconds(msec); // you have to get this from JS of course
