Parsing strings containing date and time

[Morten Wennevik]

I'm trying to get a DateTime object out of different strings containing
unknown datetimeformat.
An example would be "Mon, 24 Nov 2003 15:23:13 +0100"

DateTime.Parse( ) does not work and I'm not sure how to use the
IFormatProvider or DateTimeStyles
Any ideas?

(NB! currentculture is not English and time formats may also be non
english)

Re: Parsing strings containing date and time

Hi,

DateTimeStyles and DateTimeFormatI nfo should be the way to go (the latter
implements IFormatProvider for dates/times by the way). Just play with the
settings to see what works - and MSDN Library docs should help you in that.
