DateTime and CultureInfo
Solution 1:
You may try the following:
System.Globalization.CultureInfo cultureinfo =
new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("nl-NL");
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(date, cultureinfo);
Solution 2:
Use CultureInfo class to change your culture info.
var dutchCultureInfo = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("nl-NL");
var date1 = DateTime.ParseExact(date, "dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss", dutchCultureInfo);
