Suppose you have a DataTable which is part of a DataSet that has a
column of type DateTime.
When you call
ds.GetXml()
the date comes out looking something like this:
2005-01-17T23:01:34.9526250+11:00
An article I came across
(http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/20...eTimeInXml.asp)
says the format should be more like 'CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss' but it clearly
isnt on my machine - I am getting to 1/10millionth of a second and the
timezone! That article suggests a way to customize the DateTime output
by calling ds.GetXml(), reading it back in, then writing it out again. I
don't really like that way.
I compared the output to all the DateTime.ToString() variants and it
doesnt seem to match any! Looking at the DataSet schema didnt shed any
light either:
<xs:element name="Item" type="xs:dateTime" minOccurs="0" />
Does anyone know of a way to output the DateTime in the format of your
choice? (without writing/reading back in)
I was thinking perhaps you can set the DateTime format as a property
somewhere on the DataSet, but can't find anything! There is much to this
class.
