vb.net - Conditional DateTime.ParseExact format -

i parsing date bank deposit report, , format this:

jul  9 2015 jun 20 2015 

basically mmm dd yyyy except single digit day not contain leading zero. there simple way conditional formatting in datetime.parseexact()? or have pre-process date string , either add leading 0 or remove space?? here works single digit day dates:

dim dtdepositdate datetime dtdepositdate = datetime.parseexact(strdate, "mmm  d yyyy", cultureinfo.invariantculture) 

and obviously, mmm dd yyyy work 2 digit dates, not work single digit dates space in between.

for single/double digit day part

use single d both single , double digits day value.

having single d effect values if datetime converted string. far parsing concerned, work both single , double digits day values, 01 , 1 , 11, 20 etc. same true m, h, m, specifier month, hour minutes etc.

for multiple spaces

for multiple spaces use datetimestyles.allowwhitespaces in parsing.

datetime dt = datetime.parseexact("jul  9 2015", "mmm d yyyy",                                 cultureinfo.invariantculture,                                 datetimestyles.allowwhitespaces); 

or double digit day part:

datetime dt = datetime.parseexact("jun 20 2015", "mmm d yyyy",                                 cultureinfo.invariantculture,                                 datetimestyles.allowwhitespaces);
