Tries to convert a specified string representation of a date and time to its DateTimeOffset equivalent, and returns a value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded.

public:
 static bool TryParse(System::String ^ input, IFormatProvider ^ formatProvider, System::Globalization::DateTimeStyles styles, [Runtime::InteropServices::Out] DateTimeOffset % result);

public static bool TryParse (string input, IFormatProvider formatProvider, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles styles, out DateTimeOffset result);

public static bool TryParse (string? input, IFormatProvider? formatProvider, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles styles, out DateTimeOffset result);

static member TryParse : string * IFormatProvider * System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles * DateTimeOffset -> bool

Public Shared Function TryParse (input As String, formatProvider As IFormatProvider, styles As DateTimeStyles, ByRef result As DateTimeOffset) As Boolean

Parameters

input: String

A string that contains a date and time to convert.

formatProvider: IFormatProvider

An object that provides culture-specific formatting information about input.

styles: DateTimeStyles

A bitwise combination of enumeration values that indicates the permitted format of input.

result: DateTimeOffset

When the method returns, contains the DateTimeOffset value equivalent to the date and time of input, if the conversion succeeded, or DateTimeOffset.MinValue, if the conversion failed. The conversion fails if the input parameter is null or does not contain a valid string representation of a date and time. This parameter is passed uninitialized.

Returns

Boolean

true if the input parameter is successfully converted; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

styles includes an undefined DateTimeStyles value.

-or-

NoCurrentDateDefault is not supported.

-or-

styles includes mutually exclusive DateTimeStyles values.

The following example calls the TryParse(String, IFormatProvider, DateTimeStyles, DateTimeOffset) method with a variety of DateTimeStyles values to parse some strings with various date and time formats.

Remarks

This overload of the TryParse(String, IFormatProvider, DateTimeStyles, DateTimeOffset) method is like the DateTimeOffset.Parse(String, IFormatProvider, DateTimeStyles) method, except that it does not throw an exception if the conversion fails. The method parses a string with three elements that can appear in any order and are delimited by white space. These three elements are 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 <Date> is present but its year component consists of only two digits, it is converted to a year in the provider parameter's current calendar based on the value of the Calendar.TwoDigitYearMax property. If <Time> is missing, its default value is 12:00:00 AM. If <Offset> is missing, its default value is the offset of the local time zone, or Zero if either the DateTimeStyles.AdjustToUniversal or DateTimeStyles.AssumeUniversal value is specified in styles. If <Offset> is present, it can represent either a negative or a positive offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). In either case, <Offset> must include a sign symbol or the method returns false.

The input string is parsed by using the culture-specific formatting information in a DateTimeFormatInfo object supplied by the formatProvider parameter. The formatProvider parameter can be either of the following:

A CultureInfo object that represents the culture whose formatting is used in input. The DateTimeFormatInfo object returned by the CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat property defines the format that is used in input.
A DateTimeFormatInfo object that defines the format of date and time data.

In addition, each element can be delimited by leading or trailing white space, and the <Date> and <Time> components can include inner white space (such as 6: 00:00). Only the <Offset> component cannot include inner white space.

If provider is null, the CultureInfo object that corresponds to the current culture is used.

The positive or negative sign used in <Offset> must be either + or -. It is not defined by the PositiveSign or NegativeSign properties of the NumberFormatInfo object returned by the formatprovider parameter's NumberFormat property.

The following members of the DateTimeStyles enumeration are supported:

DateTimeStyles Member	Comments
AdjustToUniversal	Parses the string represented by `input` and, if necessary, converts it to UTC. It is equivalent to parsing a string, and then calling the returned object's ToUniversalTime() method.
AllowInnerWhite	Although valid, this value is ignored. Inner white space is allowed in the <Date> and <Time> components.
AllowLeadingWhite	Although valid, this value is ignored. Leading white space is allowed in front of each component in the parsed string.
AllowTrailingWhite	Although valid, this value is ignored. Trailing white space is allowed in front of each component in the parsed string.
AllowWhiteSpaces	This is the default behavior. It cannot be overridden by supplying a more restrictive DateTimeStyles enumeration value, such as DateTimeStyles.None.
AssumeLocal	Indicates that, if the `input` parameter lacks an <Offset> element, the offset of the local time zone should be provided. This is the default behavior of the TryParse(String, IFormatProvider, DateTimeStyles, DateTimeOffset) method.
AssumeUniversal	Indicates that, if the `input` parameter lacks an <Offset> element, the UTC offset (00:00) should be provided.
None	Although valid, this value is ignored and has no effect.
RoundtripKind	Because the DateTimeOffset structure does not include a `Kind` property, this value has no effect.

Only the DateTimeStyles.NoCurrentDateDefault value is not supported. An ArgumentException is thrown if this value is included in the styles parameter.

Remarks

This overload of the TryParse(String, DateTimeOffset) method is like the DateTimeOffset.Parse(String) method, except that it does not throw an exception if the conversion fails. It parses a string with three elements that can appear in any order and are delimited by white space. These three elements are 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 <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 <Time> is missing, its default value is 12:00:00 AM. If <Offset> is missing, its default value is the offset of the local time zone. If <Offset> is present, it can represent either a negative or a positive offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). In either case, <Offset> must include a sign symbol or the method returns false.

The input string is parsed by using the formatting information in a DateTimeFormatInfo object initialized for the current culture. To parse a string that contains designated formatting that does not necessarily correspond to that of the current culture, use the TryParseExact method and provide a format specifier.
