I have a String that looks like
4/2/2012 12:00 AM
12/30/1899 10:00 AM
I want to format the strings so the first date/time stamp looks like
4/2/2012
The second should look like
10:00 AM
SHould I use the whitespace as a means to split the string?

For complete string -->
string s= DateTime.Parse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM").ToString("d/M/yyyy hh:mm tt");
For separated strings -->
string date=DateTime.Parse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM").ToString("d/M/yyyy");
string time = DateTime.Parse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM").ToString("hh:mm tt");

Worth looking at
DateTime.TryParse also - nice if the input strings are not guaranteed to be properly formatted. Returns true if the parse was successful.

string date=DateTime.Parse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM").ToString("d/M/YYYY"); should be string date=DateTime.Parse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM").ToString("d/M/yyyy");
use the following function:
string dstr = "4/2/2012 12:00";
DateTime dtime=Convert.ToDateTime(dstr )
string dt1 = dtime.ToShortDateString();//to get the date
string dt2 = dtime.ToShortTimeString();//to get the time

Have a look here
Just add .Tostring("") and between the "" you add the pattern, as shown at the site

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.
DateTime dt;
if (DateTime.TryParse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM",dt))
{
String Result = "";
if (DateTime.Date > DateTime.MinValue)
Result = dateTime.ToString("d/M/YYYY");
if (DateTime.TimeOfDay > TimeSpan.MinValue)
Result += dateTime.ToString("hh:mm tt");
}

DateTime foo = DateTime.Parse("4/2/2012 12:00 AM");
string date = foo.ToShortDateString();
string time = foo.ToShortTimeString();
