How do I parse a date w/ a time zone?

[Jon Davis]

The date string: "Thu, 17 Jul 2003 12:35:18 PST"

The problem:

// this fails on PST
DateTime myDate = DateTime.Parse("Thu, 17 Jul 2003 12:35:18 PST");

Help?

*sigh* This kludge is what I've wound up doing ...

// offset for time zone
if (tz.Length > 0) {
try {

try {
int.Parse(tz.Substring(0, 1));

} catch {
}
}

int m = int.Parse(tz.Substring(3, 2));

Jon,

If I understand correctly, you want to convert a DateTime w/ a
TimeZone specifier into a local DateTime value. Right? If so, I
made some mods to your code (posted below). Regular expressions
greatly simplified things.

Hope this helps.

Wow, hey thanks!

I'm surprised this stuff isn't built in, though!!!! :( Or is it? Anyone
know?
