Hi, i am android and Ios developer, i would like to convert string to DateTime

      `string nodeValue = "2013-02-11T14:29:01-05:00";`

Finally got solution

```
string nodeValue = "2013-02-11T14:29:01-05:00"; DateTimeOffset dtOffset;

if(DateTimeOffset.TryParse(nodeValue,null,DateTimeStyles.None,out dtOffset)) { DateTime myDate = dtOffset.DateTime;

    //output myDate
    //2/11/2013 2:29:01 PM

} ```

string nodeValue = "2013-02-11T14:29:01-05:00";

long b = 0; var date = DateTime.Parse(nodeValue); Console.WriteLine(date.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss"));

Result: 02-12-2013 12:59:01

You can convert string to date time like this:

DateTime myDate = DateTime.ParseExact("2013-02-11T14:29:01", "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

I have used 2013-02-11T14:29:01 instead of 2013-02-11T14:29:01-05:00 and its showing date time as per your requirement.

You can also refer sortable DateTime pattern here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.globalization.datetimeformatinfo.sortabledatetimepattern?view=netframework-4.7.2 Hope this may solve your issue.

Yes if we use 2013-02-11T14:29:01 instead of 2013-02-11T14:29:01-05:00 Then result was expected one Thank you
