c# datetime.parseexact string was not recognized as a valid datetime -

this question has answer here:

• why can't datetime.parseexact() parse “9/1/2009” using “m/d/yyyy” 7 answers

below code throws exception on local, not on server.

datetime date = datetime.parseexact("01/06/2015", "dd/mm/yyyy", null); 

like said works on server, throws 'system.formatexception' on local. assume might problem of cultural settings. don't know can into.

could me?

try this:

datetime date = datetime.parseexact("01/06/2015", "dd/mm/yyyy", cultureinfo.invariantculture); 

if don't specify culture use whatever current culture settings are. since know format should supply invariantculture.
