Problem while Parsing DateTime.

[Sunil G 3]

Hi, I am collecting OS info using Win32_OperatingSystem(WMI). its one property(InstallDate) which gives Installation Date of the OS, but datetime is in 20091117110355.375000+330 format. I want to convert this into actual DateTime format. Thanks, Sunil G.

Try this...

DateTime GetMeTheDateAndTime(string s)
{
return DateTime.ParseExact(s.Substring(0, 14), "yyyyMMddHHmmss", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvarientCulture);
}

...you may wan't to apply some validation thou

Life goes very fast. Tomorrow, today is already yesterday.

This works for sure, there may be something more compact:

string s="20091117110355.375000+330";
DateTime.ParseExact(s.Substring(0,14), "yyyyMMddHHmmss",null);

:)

Hi, There is also a .NET class to handle this conversion.

string dmtfDate = "20091117110355.375000+330";
DateTime dt = System.Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter.ToDateTime(dmtfDate);
