[RESOLVED] [2008] Parse XML style date and time

Hello,
I've been struggling with this all afternoon, and everything I find on Google seems to talk about converting dates and times TO the format I've already got.
I have an XML file which has recorded a date and time of:

2009-03-28T16:24:22+00:00

What I want to know is how I convert it to dd/MM/yyyy.

In my despiration, I've started working with substrings to break it up and re-assemble it again, but there has got to be a better way.

One of the latest things I've tried is:

Code:

---

strDate = strDate.Substring(0, 10)
Dim dteDate As DateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(strDate, "yyyy-MM-dd", New Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB"))

---

... but this complains that The DateTime represented by the string is not supported in calendar System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar.

Convert.ToDateTime(strDate) doesn't seem to want to play either.

Try this

Code:

---

Dim s As String = "2009-03-28T16:24:22+00:00"
Dim d As Date = Date.ParseExact(s, "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:sszzz", Nothing)
MsgBox(d.ToString)

---

Many thanks. :D
