Converting E MMM dd HH:mm:ss Z yyyy to dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss c#

Question

I’m getting the following date Thu Sep 01 00:00:00 BRT 2016 and need to convert to dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss

Only that the Convert generates error, I’m receiving this date via string of a System.

Can someone help me?

DateTime dtPeca;
dtPeca = Convert.ToDateTime(linha[4]);

If you are sure that the format will always be the same, you can make the conversion using TryParseExact

DateTime dateValue;
DateTime.TryParseExact(data, "ddd MMM dd hh:mm:ss BRT yyyy", new CultureInfo("en-US"), 
                       DateTimeStyles.None, out dateValue);
