Date formatting in C#

Question

I've got a datetime from an XML file of this format:

<LastFetchTime>2011-03-25T00:09:09+08:00</LastFetchTime>

And when I parse and convert it into a C# datetime using this code:

lastAppliedDate = DateTime.Parse(xmlInput.Descendants("LastFetchTime").First().Value);

I get

{3/24/2011 12:09:09 PM}

Which I think is odd, since +8 ought to move you forward, not back.

Can anyone see what I'm missing?

Answer 1

似乎+8是与时间相关的时区，您得到的是GMT。

Answer 2

+8是与GMT的偏移量，因此您必须为-1，这样您才能在自己的时区中获取它。
