I need to be able to parse both of these dates with the same method, and
return them as a DateTime object. Is there any methods that would do this
blindly or do I need to provide the format?

Hi,
You might try DateTime.Parse using InvariantCulture:
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(yourdate,
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

thanks for the idea, but it didnt work :-(
im actually starting to think that it might be a good idea to try catch it
with one format using parseexact and if it fails, I try the other format, of
course that only works if those are the two only possible formats, which I
am not sure they are.

Why with InvariantCulture?
Mihai
It never changes (it is not regional setting dependent) - it is fixed and
you are certain what you'll get.

I know this. I was just not my understanding that he wanted something
regional setting independent.
I think he was just trying to solve his problem in English, without thinking
what happens if in 2 months the marketing guys will ask for German.
I need to be able to parse both of these dates with the same method, and return them as a DateTime object. Is there any methods that would do this blindly or do I need to provide the format?
My normal answer would be: use DateTime.Parse.
And depending on what you need, you may use a CultureInfo or not,
invariant or not.

I actually solved the problem we had by first calling parse, if that failed,
I would call parseExact and I would give it a formats array tht contained
what we consider valid formats so far. The reason I didnt do just the
parseExact call is because there is a lot of possible date formats we might
get that might not be on our formats array but maybe the parse method would
understand. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
