Android Question Date conversion

[Sergey_New]

The application receives dates from an external source in the format "dd MMM yyyy". For example, "12 MAY 1920".
When converting a date

DateTime.DateFormat="dd MMM yyyy"
Log(DateTime.DateTimeParse(DateTime.Date("12 MAY 1920"),"02:00:00"))

an error occurs due to the fact that the month name must be "May".
What can be done to make the process case-insensitive?

Edit Explaination:
The error is occurring because you are incorrectly parsing the date before passing it to DateTime.DateTimeParse.
DateTime.DateTimeParse requires 2 Strings
Try:

    DateTime.DateFormat="dd MMM yyyy"
    Dim L As Long = DateTime.DateTimeParse("12 MAY 1920","02:00:00")
    Log(DateTime.Date(L))
    Log(DateTime.Time(L))

I need to get ticks from "12 MAY 1920"

Dim L As Long = DateTime.DateTimeParse(DateTime.Date("12 MAY 1920"),"02:00:00")

and not separately date and time

 

[stevel05]

You need to change the Date/Time output Format to display both:

DateTime.DateFormat="dd MMM yyyy"
Dim L As Long = DateTime.DateTimeParse("12 MAY 1920","02:00:00")

DateTime.DateFormat="dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss"
Log(DateTime.Date(L))

Dim L As Long = DateTime.DateTimeParse("12 MAY 1920","02:00:00")

Thank you, it works!
Tell me if it is possible not to specify the time "02:00:00". I don't need it.

Yes, just do:

    DateTime.DateFormat="dd MMM yyyy"
    Dim L As Long = DateTime.DateParse("12 MAY 1920")
    Log(DateTime.Date(L))
