title: DateTime.ParseExact - UK date and time
body: <p>I'm trying to parse the following UK format <code>DateTime</code> string: <code>24/01/2013 22:00</code></p>
  
  <p>However, I keep getting this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><code>CultureInfo.CurrentCulture</code> returns "<code>en-GB</code>" which is correct</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code</p>
  
  <pre><code>    [TestMethod]
      public void TestDateTimeParse()
      {
          DateTime tester = DateTime.ParseExact("24/01/2013 22:00", "d/M/yyyy hh:mm", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
  
          int hours = tester.Hour;
          int minutes = tester.Minute;
  
          Assert.IsTrue(true);
      }
  </code></pre>
