How can I use DateTime.Parse() with point separator?

I would like to parse a date like this "1.09.开发者_运维问答2011"? Should I use the IFormatProvider?

I know that I can try to replace the point with the replace method but i don't like the idea.

Try DateTime.ParseExact( myString, "d.MM.yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

EDIT

Change the format from "dd.MM.yyyy" to "d.MM.yyyy" to properly reflect Dran's input string.

DateTime.ParseExact allows you to specify a format string.
