DateTime not displaying properly - Parking fee Console app

Hi Guys,

Though i can find many examples related to Parking fee code, i dint find a code the way am trying below.

Am posting initial code here:

Though i give the correct input, i dint get the expected output here.

Input: 2015/11/09 01:30:15

Output: 01/01/0001 01:15:30 AM

The Date and Time is wrong, and how to handle AM and PM ?

Console.WriteLine("Please enter list of cities");

String input1 = Console.ReadLine();

DateTime dt1;

bool res1 = DateTime.TryParseExact(input1, "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss", null, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out dt1);

Console.WriteLine(dt1);

Console.ReadLine();

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for your quick reply, this is the console application am trying to run and not saving this is inputs anywhere.
Always i get output -1 as per the logic below, the input string is not properly getting converted to required date and time.

Please suggest any alternate method if possible,

My logic is:

public static double CarParking(string input1, string input2)
{
double duration = 0;
DateTime dt1;
DateTime dt2;
double output1 = 0;
bool res1 = DateTime.TryParseExact(input1, "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss", null, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out dt1);
bool res2 = DateTime.TryParseExact(input2, "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss", null, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out dt2);
Console.WriteLine(dt1);
Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine(dt2);
Console.ReadLine();
if (res1 == false || res2 == false)
{
output1 = -1;
}

check i think now saving in db
if it saved means see what is returning input1 variable

bool res1=DateTime.Parse(input1).ToString("yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss")
