Parse(String^) parses a string with three elements that can appear in any order and are delimited by white space. These three elements are as shown in the following table.
Element | Example |
|---|---|
<Date> | "2/10/2007" |
<Time> | "1:02:03 PM" |
<Offset> | "-7:30" |
Although each of these elements is optional, <Offset> cannot appear by itself. It must be provided together with either <Date> or <Time>. If <Date> is missing, its default value is the current day. If <Time> is missing, its default value is 12:00:00 AM. If <Date> is present but its year component consists of only two digits, it is converted to a year in the current culture's current calendar based on the value of the Calendar::TwoDigitYearMax property. If <Offset> is missing, its default value is the offset of the local time zone. <Offset> can represent either a negative or a positive offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). In either case, <Offset> must include a sign symbol.
The input string is parsed by using the formatting information in a DateTimeFormatInfo object that is initialized for the current culture. To parse a string that contains designated formatting that does not necessarily correspond to the formatting of the current culture, use the ParseExact method and provide a format specifier.
