Public Shared Function ToDateTime( _
   ByVal value As String _

Parameters

value
The string to convert.

Return Value

The date and time value represented by the string.

Exceptions

Exception Type Condition
XmlException If value is null or a reference to a string that does not contain a valid date and time value.

Remarks

The value parameter must be a non-null reference to a string that contains a well-formed date and time value. The string must be of the form YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssssss, where YYYY is the year (0001-9999), MM is the month (01-12), DD is the day (01-31), T is the literal character 'T', hh is the hour (00-23), mm is the minute (00-59), and ss.sssssss is the second (00-59), optionally followed by a decimal point and a fractional part.

The date and time string may optionally be followed by a time zone indicator. The time zone indicator consists either of the letter 'Z' (indicating GMT), or of a '+' or '-' followed by a time difference the form hh:mm. In the latter case, the indicated time difference is added to or subtracted from the resulting value.
