Parse Datetime string

I’m trying to parse the following DateTime in C#:

string date = "Wed Jul 25 19:41:36 2012 +0200"
DateTime result = DateTime.Parse(date);

And I’m getting the following error:

System.FormatException : String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

Anybody knows what is the problem here?

Answer 1

You can use DateTime.ParseExact() for that. For example

UPDATED:

string dateString = "Your date";
string format = "ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy %K";
DateTime dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, format, 
              CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Console.WriteLine(dateTime);
