I have this string:
Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:26:42 PST
I tries to parse it like that:
DateTime.TryParse("Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:26:42 PST", out date)
Or like that:
Convert.ToDateTime("Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:26:42 PST")
And it throws to me:
MESSAGE: The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is an unknown word starting at index 26.
Any idea what is wrong and how can I fix it?
With named timezones, you can create a dictionary that maps the names to the actual timezone difference in the format recognized - then, use this dictionary to replace named timezones with their recognized format.
At this point you will have a string that can be parsed by the framework.
