public virtual DateTime ReadElementContentAsDateTime (
	string localName,
	string namespaceURI
)

public DateTime ReadElementContentAsDateTime (
	String localName, 
	String namespaceURI
)

public function ReadElementContentAsDateTime (
	localName : String, 
	namespaceURI : String
) : DateTime

Parameters

localName

The local name of the element.

namespaceURI

The namespace URI of the element.

Return Value

This method reads the start tag, the contents of the element, and moves the reader past the end element tag. It expands entities and ignores processing instructions and comments. The element can only contain simple content. That is, it cannot have child elements.

If the content is typed xsd:dateTime, the reader returns an unboxed DateTime object. If the content is not typed xsd:dateTime, the reader attempts to convert it to a DateTime object according to the rules defined by the W3C XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/).

Note
You cannot rely on the DateTime.Year value when the content is typed as xsd:gMonthDay. XmlReader always sets the DateTime.Year value to 1904 in this case.
