Problem Converting DateTime

[Guest]

Hi,

I have time in the following format...

Tue, 8 May 2007 13:38:00 EDT

How can I convert it DateTime? Convert.ToDateTime works fine if the Time
Zone is GMT like
Tue, 8 May 2007 13:38:00 GMT

Is there a specified way to accomplish this or would I have to do some hacks?

Thnx

Hello mavrick_101,

Use DateTime.ParseExact with
expected format as "string[] expectedFormats = { "ddd", "g", "MMM", "F",
"h", "mm", "ss", "zz"};" (no place to check it)

See MSDN for "Custom DateTime Format Strings" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4.aspx

add time offset
