c# - How to convert Persian Calendar date string to DateTime?

Question

I use these codes for converting current datetime and minus it with the date time which users type in a textbox. But it gives an error while converting.

PersianCalendar p = new System.Globalization.PersianCalendar();
DateTime date = new DateTime();
date = DateTime.Parse(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString());
int year = p.GetYear(date);
int month = p.GetMonth(date);
int day = p.GetDayOfMonth(date);
string str = string.Format("{0}/{1}/{2}", year, month, day);
DateTime d1 = DateTime.Parse(str);
DateTime d2 = DateTime.Parse(textBox9.Text);
string s = (d2 - d1).ToString().Replace(".00:00:00", "");
textBox10.Text = (d2 - d1).ToString().Replace(".00:00:00","");

This line will accord an error while converting datetime from string to date time :DateTime d1 = DateTime.Parse(str);

Please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance

No need to parse the date here.

EDIT:

Originally I only wanted to point out error in OP processing with this answer. But I think a full answer would be better (despite the delay :) ) And Yes I know that intermediate date representation does not look like Persian Date. But it is not what is needed. This code gives proper difference between current date and the date that user puts in.

string userInput = "1394/02/31";
System.DateTime date = System.DateTime.Today;
System.Globalization.PersianCalendar p = new System.Globalization.PersianCalendar();

int year = p.GetYear(date);
int month = p.GetMonth(date);
int day = p.GetDayOfMonth(date);
System.DateTime currentDate = new System.DateTime(year, month, 1);
currentDate = currentDate.AddDays(day - 1);

// validation omitted
System.String[] userDateParts = userInput.Split(new[] { "/" }, System.StringSplitOptions.None);
int userYear = int.Parse(userDateParts[0]);
int userMonth = int.Parse(userDateParts[1]);
int userDay = int.Parse(userDateParts[2]);
System.DateTime userDate = new System.DateTime(userYear, userMonth, 1);
userDate = userDate.AddDays(userDay - 1);

System.TimeSpan difference = currentDate.Subtract(userDate);
