DateTime Formating Question

Tags: datetime
I am writting to an XML file a date and time from a text file.

The issue I am running into is this...

The XML file show this for the date time
"2005-06-03T13:24:31"
and the text file shows the following
June 3, 2005 1:24:31 PM

So when I do a comparision to see if they are the same it does not work.

How can I make it so what is written to the XML file is the correct info..shown as June 3, 2005 1:24:31 PM or whatever to make the If statement run correctly?

Here is what I have for the code for the comparisions
                                                      
//Change previous line to when even happened time
DateTime dErrorTime = Convert.ToDateTime(sPreviousLine).Date;
DateTime dPreviousLine = Convert.ToDateTime(sPreviousLine);
String sErrorDateTime = dPreviousLine.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");

//Get the LogErrorTime from XML File
XmlNode xmlLogErrorTime = xmlNodeErrorLogMessage.SelectSingleNode(TAGS.LogErrorTime);
DateTime dLogErrorTime = Convert.ToDateTime(xmlLogErrorTime.InnerText);
String sLogErrorTime = dLogErrorTime.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");      
                                                            
if ((dErrorTime == dToday) && (sErrorDateTime != sLogErrorTime))//line for checking

This is what is initially written out to the XML File //THESE ARE UNDER THE IF STATEMENT LISTED ABOVE

//Change from string to date/time to use
DateTime dTimeFromLog = Convert.ToDateTime(sPreviousLine);
                                                      
//Set the LogErrorTime to what was found in the errlog.txt file for the error.
xmlLogErrorTime = xmlNodeErrorLogMessage.SelectSingleNode(TAGS.LogErrorTime);
xmlLogErrorTime.InnerText = dTimeFromLog.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
