Convert string to DateTime and format



Can i convert the string below to DateTime

Friday, 27th September 2013

This is what i want to achieve:

String tmpDate="Friday, 27th September 2013";

closingDate = Convert.ToDateTime(tmpDate).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");

Doing above i get error:

The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is an unknown

word starting at index 10.
