Hello, I am writing an RSS and Mail reader app in C# (technically MonoTouch). I have run into the issue of parsing DateTimes. I see a lot of variance in how dates are presented in the wild and have begun writing a function like this: static string[] DateTimeFormats = new string[] { "ddd, d MMM yyyy H:mm:ss \"GMT+00:00\"", "d MM...

So 2 should return for today, since it is currently March, the third month of the year. 12 should return for January. Then based on that, I need to be able to iterate through a directory and find all files that were created that month. ...
hi there There must be a simple way to get different timezones with code (ie without changeing your system timezone) So far you can do something like var timezone = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone; but I cant see any other way to get a different timezone? or should I just use TimeSpan? Actually it seems like it s a better idea to use Tim...
I have a data structure where an entity has times stored as an int (minutes into the day) for fast comparison. The entity also has a Foreign Key reference back to a TimeZone table which contains the .NET CLR ID Name and it's Standard Time/Daylight Time acronyms. Since this information is stored as time-zone insensitive - I was wonderin...
With FluentValidation, is it possible to validate a string as a parseable DateTime without having to specify a Custom() delegate? Ideally, I'd like to say something like the EmailAddress function, e.g.: RuleFor(s => s.EmailAddress).EmailAddress().WithMessage("Invalid email address"); So something like this: RuleFor(s => s.DepartureD...

Hello, how can I change timezone on MSYS+MinGW for Windows if I have only "date" command installed? There are no "tzconfig" or "tzselect" here. When I try $date --set="Apr 01 23:08 UTC+04:00" I receive 19:08 GMT+0 result. This is very important for me because "make" command always gives me errors about files modified in future. ...
I work in a bizarre and irrational industry where we need to be able to represent the time of day as 06:00:00 to 30:00:00 instead of 0:00:00 to 24:00:00. Is there any way to do this using the DateTime type? If I try to construct a date time with an hour value greater than 24 it throws an exception. ...

Hello, I have a datetime.datetime property var. I would like to know if it is less than one hour of the current time. Something like var.hour<datetime.datetime.today().hour - 1 Problem with the above syntax is that datetime.datetime.today().hour returns a number such as "10" and it is not really a date comparation but more of a n...
I have a date object from which I'd like to render an HTML snippet like <abbr title="2010-04-02T14:12:07">A couple days ago</abbr>. I have the "relative time in words" portion from another library. How do I render the title portion? I've tried the following: isoDate: function(msSinceEpoch) { var d = new Date(msSinceEpoch); return d...

A friend asked me yesterday if this was possible on the iPhone. I took a look at NSCalendar and all the related Classes but couldn't find a solution to this. So I thought about this approach: If I had two dates dateA and dateB, I would have to make a for-loop and iterate over every single day in this interval. Then I would count the bus...
