Hi all,
in my C# 2.0 application I have a test to perform a datetime conversion
(from string datatype), sort of:

Assert.AreEqual(Convert.ToDateTime("23/09/2008 14:31:45").....etc

The problem is that it works only in my machine, and not in the server.
The error is:

System.FormatException : String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
at System.DateTimeParse.Parse(String s, DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi,
DateTimeStyles styles)
at System.DateTime.Parse(String s, IFormatProvider provider)

How can I set the culture (or something else) to be independent form
international settings?

Thanks a lot.

Pass in a CultureInfo you want to use e.g.
Convert.ToDateTime("23/09/2008 14:31:45", new CultureInfo("en-GB"))
