Parse string to DateTimeOffset with possible formats in CSharp
Description
The following code shows how to parse string to DateTimeOffset with possible formats.
Example
using System;// w ww .jav a 2 s.c o m
using System.Globalization;
public class MainClass
{
public static void Main(String[] argv)
{
string input = String.Empty;
string[] formats = new string[] {@"@M/dd/yyyy HH:m zzz", @"MM/dd/yyyy HH:m zzz",
@"M/d/yyyy HH:m zzz", @"MM/d/yyyy HH:m zzz",
@"M/dd/yy HH:m zzz", @"MM/dd/yy HH:m zzz",
@"M/d/yy HH:m zzz", @"MM/d/yy HH:m zzz",
@"M/dd/yyyy H:m zzz", @"MM/dd/yyyy H:m zzz",
@"M/d/yyyy H:m zzz", @"MM/d/yyyy H:m zzz",
@"M/dd/yy H:m zzz", @"MM/dd/yy H:m zzz",
@"M/d/yy H:m zzz", @"MM/d/yy H:m zzz",
@"M/dd/yyyy HH:mm zzz", @"MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm zzz",
@"M/d/yyyy HH:mm zzz", @"MM/d/yyyy HH:mm zzz",
@"M/dd/yy HH:mm zzz", @"MM/dd/yy HH:mm zzz",
@"M/d/yy HH:mm zzz", @"MM/d/yy HH:mm zzz",
@"M/dd/yyyy H:mm zzz", @"MM/dd/yyyy H:mm zzz",
@"M/d/yyyy H:mm zzz", @"MM/d/yyyy H:mm zzz",
@"M/dd/yy H:mm zzz", @"MM/dd/yy H:mm zzz",
@"M/d/yy H:mm zzz", @"MM/d/yy H:mm zzz"};
IFormatProvider provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.DateTimeFormat;
DateTimeOffset result = new DateTimeOffset();
input = "2014";
try
{
result = DateTimeOffset.ParseExact(input, formats, provider,
DateTimeStyles.AllowWhiteSpaces);
}
catch (FormatException)
{
Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse {0}.", input);
}
Console.WriteLine(result.ToString());
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
