Date Formats

[Ian Frawley]

anyone know how to get this working?

string ergggg = "20051201 162533";
DateTimeFormatInfo myDTFI = new CultureInfo( "en-Gb",
false ).DateTimeFormat;
myDTFI.FullDateTimePattern = "yyyyMMdd hhmmss";
DateTime switchdate = DateTime.ParseExact(datething,"yyyyMMdd hhmmss",
myDTFI);
string ace = switchdate.ToString();

Ian,

You want to use this instead:

myDTFI.FullDateTimePattern = "yyyyMMdd HHmmss";
DateTime switchdate = DateTime.ParseExact(datething,"yyyyMMdd HHmmss",
myDTFI);

Note the capital H. This will interpret the hour as military time,
instead of am/pm.

Hope this helps.
