Converting string to DateTime with offset

Question

This is the string: 2007-08-31T06:59:40+02:00
How do I convert it to DateTime ?

Answer 1

DateTimeOffset also handles the time zone offset:

DateTimeOffset.Parse("2007-08-31T06:59:40+02:00")

or

DateTimeOffset.ParseExact("2007-08-31T06:59:40+02:00", "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:sszzzz"
                          ,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));

Answer 2

You should use DateTimeOffset.ParseExact - you know the exact format you're expecting, and as this presumably has come from another computer rather than user input, it's a definite error if it fails. Likewise you should specify the invariant culture to indicate that this does not depend on the "current culture" of the executing thread.

var value = DateTimeOffset.ParseExact(text,
                                      "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'sszzz",
                                      CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

DateTimeOffset is the type that accurately represents the information - DateTime would have to lose some of that information.

Answer 3

使用DateTime.Parse() ：

DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse ("2007-08-31T06:59:40+02:00")

Answer 4

You could use DateTimeOffset.TryParse Method.

Answer 5

Use DateTimeOffset.Parse() .

Then use either DateTime property or DateTimeUtc property to get a DateTime (but you should investigate if you could keep using DateTimeOffset.
