title: .NET DateTime.Parse
body: <p>When trying to use the parse method on the <code>DateTime</code> class, I get an exception thrown:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <ul>
  <li>The string reads as <code>&quot;26/10/2009 8:47:39 AM&quot;</code> when outputted.</li>
  <li>This string is obtained from a group on a match from a regex.</li>
  <li>None of the strings obtained from this match group will parse to datetime.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Examples of other strings:</p>
  <pre>
  26/10/2009 8:47:39 AM
  26/10/2009 8:00:41 AM
  26/10/2009 7:48:35 AM
  </pre>
  <p>The weird thing is, I am sure it has worked before.</p>
