How to convert facebook Graph date time into c# DateTime

Question

I have "2010-12-20T11:36:28+0000". How do I parse it into DateTime?

Thanks

Answer 1

DateTime d = DateTime.Parse("2010-12-20T11:36:28+0000");

Works on my machine and parses time zone.

Answer 2

You can use ParseExact or TryParseExact with a Custom Date and Time Format String.

Tested:

var myDate = DateTime.ParseExact("2010-12-20T11:36:28+0000", 
                                 @"yyyy-MM-dd\THH:mm:ssK",
                                 CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Having said that, DateTime.Parse works perfectly well.
