    Remarks

    The editText will be parsed according to the EditFormatProvider and the control's current DatePickerTextBoxArea.Mask.

    This method ignores unrecognized data if possible and fills in missing month, day, and year information with the current time. Any leading, inner, or trailing white space character in editText is ignored.

    text must contain the representation of a date in one of the formats described in the System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo class topic in .NET Framework's documentation.
