What is wrong with a line like this? DateTime.Parse(myString)..

Answer / anand

Nothing wrong with the format really. Only problem is that
the result would depend on the Culture of the machine where
this line is getting invoked. Ideally you should also
supply the second parameter - or specify the Culture!

What is wrong with a line like this? DateTime.Parse(myString)..

Answer / fusion

No .it can have one argument.
Eg. Response.Write(DateTime.Parse("10:50:39"))
will return you date and time.
such as 24/06/2008 10:50:39 AM

You can not simply have any irrlevant string,it should be
some string containing data or time value.

What is wrong with a line like this? DateTime.Parse(myString)..

Answer / soner gönül

- Different cultures uses different standard date and time formats. This overload can create ambiguous values for the same string in different cultures. Eg: What should "01/02/2016" parsed as? 1 February? 2 January? It depends.

- The Calendar used by CurrentCulture might not have this date and time because of it's boundries.

If anyone interested, I wrote an article in Turkish about that subject.

What is wrong with a line like this? DateTime.Parse(myString)..

Answer / rahul misra

A statement like this should be used only after making sure
that the string contains DateTime data.
e.g DateTime.Parse("3 4") will return 3rd April 2009
(current year assuming DD-MM-YYYY as the datetime format as
per the machine's settings)
