Date Conversion Problem

[danasegaranea]

Hi all, I hv coded a function to convert a string to a particular DateFormat. It works well good.But when I pass the dt as 25-12-2007 , I am getting the error as

Message "The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is a unknown word starting at index 0." String

Function

Public Shared Function DisplayFormatedDate(ByVal dt As String, ByVal strDateStringValue As String) As String
Try
Dim dttemp As String
Dim strFormat As String = strDateStringValue.Trim
strFormat = strFormat.Replace("mm", "MM")
If Len(dt) > 0 Then
'dttemp = Date.Parse(dt).ToString(strFormat)
dttemp = Convert.ToDateTime(dt).Parse(strFormat).ToString
End If
Return dttemp
Catch ex As Exception

    End Try
End Function

Replace dttemp = Convert.ToDateTime(dt).Parse(strFormat).ToString with dttemp = Convert.ToDateTime(dt).ToString(strFormat)
