DateTimeFormat
Sometimes you want to convert a specific culture date string in a DateTime, you can create a DateTime for InvariantCulture in VB.NET in this way:
Dim paramvalue As Object = DateTime.ParseExact("23/11/2007", "dd/mm/yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
or if you want by a specific culture :
Dim myDTFI As DateTimeFormatInfo
myDTFI = New CultureInfo("it-IT", False).DateTimeFormat
myDTFI.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy"
Dim MyDate As DateTime = DateTime.Parse("20/06/2007", myDTFI)
