Script Data Component - System.DateTime.TryParseExact Method not validation date value

Question

Hello
I have Script data component in my data flow task and i am trying to validate whether the date fields has valid date values or not.
So i added below code to validate the date fields
in below code TestDate is datetime and ValidTestDate is datetime as well.
string[] formats = { "MM/dd/yyyy", "MM/d/yyyy", "M/dd/yyyy", "M/d/yyyy"};
DateTime pDateTime;
if (System.DateTime.TryParseExact(Row.TestDate.ToString(), formats, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out pDateTime)==true)
                Row.ValidTestDate = Row.TestDate;
System.DateTime.TryParseExact is not validating to true even the TestDate is valid.
I have even tried converting the datetime field to DT_DATE but it did not work.
I appreciate any suggestion to accomplish the check whether it is valid date or not.
Regards
Harris

Answer 1

This is because the string value of TestDate does not conform to either of the formats.
