RFC822 DateTime Format

[Gary Brewer]

Hello,

DateTime.Parse works great with ISO 8601 but it does not parse all RFC 822
formats, for example, it will parse

Mon, 02 Feb 2004 12:35:25 GMT

but it won't parse

Mon, 02 Feb 2004 12:35:25 +0900
although it will parse the ISO 8601 format -

2004-01-28T19:27:56+09:00
Is there a way, using the framework, I can get it to parse the RFC822 style
date time format?

I have found the DateTimeFormatInfo.RFC1123Pattern property, but I can only
see how to output dates in this format, rather than parse them.
Regards,

Gary Brewer
