How to convert DB2 timestamp to datetime?

Question

How do I convert a timestamp returned from DB2 ISeries to DateTime datatype in c#?

2012-07-06 09:52:50.926145

This did not worked for me

myEmployee.LastModified = Convert.ToDateTime(myRecord.GetString(myRecord.GetOrdinal("LASTMODIFIED")));

Answer 1

DateTime.Parse ?

DateTime result = DateTime.Parse("2012-07-06 09:52:50.926145");

It works, really.

Answer 2

You can do it with DateTime.TryParse()

DateTime date;
DateTime.TryParse("2012-07-06 09:52:50.926145", out date);

In your case

DateTime date,
DateTime.TryParse(myRecord.GetString(myRecord.GetOrdinal("LASTMODIFIED")), out date);
