I have the string "8/2/2007 12:00:00 AM"

I'd like to get this in DateTime variable so I can manipulate (e.g.
use TimeSpan to find difference).  However, when I look at the
DateTime constructors, everything seems to be int, long, etc.

So my question is, what would be the easiest way to get this into
DateTime?   Seems like a long way would be to split at the "/", parse
out, use int.Parse, etc (brute force).  But I was wondering if there
was a quick and cleaver way to do this in minimal lines of code?

Thanks-  Yin

background info:  i'm using DateTimePicker control and reading the
value which returns a string in format above.  I have two
DateTimePickers and need to know the number of months between the
value in the first DateTimePicker and the second DateTimePicker.
