c# date time parse from Fri Feb 21 23:07:58 +0000 2020

I have the following date
string dateTimeText = #"Fri Feb 21 23:07:58 +0000 2020";
I want to parse it:
DateTime.ParseExact(dateTimeText, "D M dd HH:mm:ss +ssss yyyy", new CultureInfo("en-US"));
this implementation throws exception. Thanks

Well, if +ssss (+0000) stands for TimeZone (so +0000 means GMT) the pattern is
"ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy"
I.E.
string dateTimeText = "Fri Feb 21 23:07:58 +0000 2020";
var result = DateTime.ParseExact(
dateTimeText,
#"ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy",
CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US"));
In case +ssss and (an corresponding +0000) are fractions of seconds the pattern will be
"ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss' +'FFFF yyyy"

C# - How to parse datetime string "Mar 25 2014 10:15:58:757AM"

How to parse a this datetime string in c#
Mar 25 2014 10:15:58:757AM
I have tried this, but not working.
DateTime val = DateTime.ParseExact(dateTimeStringValue, "MMM dd yyyy hh:mm:ss:fffTT", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Custom date and time format strings are case sensitive.
That's why you should use tt instead of TT.
DateTime.ParseExact("Mar 25 2014 10:15:58:757AM",
"MMM dd yyyy hh:mm:ss:ffftt",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Convert a specific type of sting in Date Time

I have to convert the below string in DateTime. I have used following code for that but it was not working.
DateTime created = DateTime.ParseExact("Sun Feb 23 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0550", "ddd mmm d yyyy HH:mm:ss", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
My string to which I have to convert in Date Time is--
Sun Feb 23 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0550

You need uppercase month and 'GMT'zzz
DateTime created = DateTime.ParseExact("Sun Feb 23 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0550"
, "ddd MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss 'GMT'zzz"
, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

I would parse this as a DateTimeOffset instead of a DateTime - after all, that's the data you've been given. Assuming it's always specified using GMT+... you can use a format string of "ddd MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss 'GMT'zzz". In particular, note:
MMM is abbreviated month name, not mmm
'GMT' will always match the letters 'GMT'
zzz is a UTC offset including minutes. It would be formatted with a colon, but apparently it's permissive enough without the colon being specified.
Sample code:
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class Test
{
static void Main()
{
var dto = DateTimeOffset.ParseExact
("Sun Feb 23 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0550",
"ddd MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss 'GMT'zzz",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Console.WriteLine(dto); // 23/02/2014 00:00:00 +05:50
}
}

Try This:
DateTime created = DateTime.ParseExact("Sun Feb 23 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0550",
"ddd MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss 'GMT'zzz",
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

convert string unique date output to type date-time in c# [duplicate]

C# to Convert String to DateTime

Closed 9 years ago.
I am extracting the data from an api and I am getting this value "Fri Aug 16 21:06:52 +0000 2013" I would like to know how I would be able to change this string value to type Date time

Use DateTime.ParseExact or (if the input may be invalid) DateTime.TryParseExact:
string input = "Aug 16 21:06:52 +0000 2013";
DateTime output;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(input, "MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out output))
{
// date was parsable, here is it:
Console.WriteLine(output.ToLongDateString());
}
Custom Date and Time Format Strings, especially the "zzz" Custom Format Specifier

You can use DateTime.ParseExact
DateTime.ParseExact("Aug 16 21:06:52 +0000 2013", "MMM dd HH:mm:ss +ffff yyyy",
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

You should read DateTime custom formats.
this should solve your problem thougf it
DateTime result = DateTime.ParseExact("Aug 16 21:06:52 +0000 2013", "MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
or to do it more appropriately and avoid exceptions. Do it like this
//zzz is Hours and minutes offset from UTC
string[] formats = { "MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy" };
DateTime result;
string date = "Aug 16 21:06:52 +0000 2013";
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(date, formats, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out result))
{
// i prefer this method though
}

Parsing string to datetime:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ch92fbc1.aspx
DateTime.TryParse() returns true or false for success / fail.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1k1skd40.aspx
DateTime.Parse() throws an exception on failure.

There are a few ways...
DateTime.TryParse
DateTime dt;
if (DateTime.TryParse("Aug 16 21:06:52 +0000 2013", out dt))
{
//parsing was successfull
}
This won't throw an exception if the parse fails.
Then there is DateTime.Parse:
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse("Aug 16 21:06:52 +0000 2013");
Unlike TryParse, this will throw an exception if parsing fails.
And there is also, Convert.ToDateTime:
DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime("Aug 16 21:06:52 +0000 2013", culture);
This also throws an error if the conversion fails.

Edited after you updated your question.
If you want it converted to your local time zone, use:
var dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact("Fri Aug 16 21:06:52 +0000 2013",
"ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Otherwise, use:
var dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact("Fri Aug 16 21:06:52 +0000 2013",
"ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
DateTimeStyles.AdjustToUniversal);
If the +0000 is always like that in the input, and you want to disregard that completely, use:
var dateTime = DateTime.ParseExact("Fri Aug 16 21:06:52 +0000 2013",
"ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss +0000 yyyy",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

datetime conversion c#

how would you convert this date into c# Datetime object?
Mon Mar 16 14:21:27 +0000 2009
i tried parseexact with format = "ddd MMM dd hh:mm:ss zzzz yyyy" but it didn't work.
what did i do wrong?

For 24-hour hours, you want HH, not hh:
DateTime when = DateTime.ParseExact("Mon Mar 16 14:21:27 +0000 2009",
"ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
