Hello,

I am trying to convert a date from a string like this:

Dim dtDate As DateTime = Convert.ToDateTime("Sun, 07 Nov
2004 14:05:04 +0200")
Response.Write(dtDate.ToString("dd MMM yyyy"))

However I am getting the error:

"String was not recognized as a valid DateTime. "

Its because of the "+200". What is the best way to convert
such a date?

Thanks
 
Are you asking how to preserve the time zone information in the datetime,
how to adjust for the times zone, or how to lop off the last five characters
of the string to make it acceptable?
 
Hello Ken,

I simply want to convert the "Sun, 07 Nov
2004 14:05:04 +0200" to a valid date. Nothing more and
nothing less.

I was hoping for a conversion solution, but I think there
isnt any. Thanks anyway for your help Ken.
