How do I use DateTime.TryParse() for non
I need to convert strings to DateTime objects that are in non-English languages. I've seen many examples of converting DateTime to strings in other languages, but not the other way around.
This doesn't seem to work:
CultureInfo provider = new CultureInfo("ar-AE"); // Arabic - United Arab Emirates
string sample = "الاربعاء 16 مارس 2011"; // Arabic date in Gregorian calendar
DateTime result;
DateTime expected = new DateTime(2011, 3, 16); // the expected date
bool b;
b = DateTime.TryParse(sample, provider, DateTimeStyles.None, out result);
Assert.IsTrue(b);
Assert.AreEqual(expected, result);
Additionally, I need to handle strings that are in other calendars. This is what I tried and it doesn't seem to work either.
CultureInfo provider = new CultureInfo("ar-AE"); // Arabic - United Arab Emirates
provider.DateTimeFormat.Calendar = new System.Globalization.HijriCalendar();
// Wednesday, March 16, 2011, 11 Rabi second in 1432
string sample = " 11 ربيع ثاني 1432 ";
DateTime result;
DateTime expected = new DateTime(2011, 3, 16); // ?
bool b;
b = DateTime.TryParse(sample, provider, DateTimeStyles.None, out result);
Assert.IsTrue(b);
Assert.AreEqual(expected, result);
What am I missing?
If you know the exact format, you can force its use with TryParseExact :
b = DateTime.TryParseExact(sample, "dddd d MMMM yyyy", provider, DateTimeStyles.None, out result);
However, in your case, this does not work. To find the problem, let's try the other way round:
Console.WriteLine(expected.ToString("dddd d MMMM yyyy", provider));
And the result is “الأربعاء 16 مارس 2011”, which (you can probably read that better than me) differs from your input in one character: .NET uses (and expects) hamza, your input does not have it. If we modify the input in this way, everything works:
CultureInfo provider = new CultureInfo("ar-AE"); // Arabic - United Arab Emirates
string sample = "الأربعاء 16 مارس 2011"; // Arabic date in Gregorian calendar
DateTime result;
DateTime expected = new DateTime(2011, 3, 16); // the expected date
bool b;
b = DateTime.TryParse(sample, provider, DateTimeStyles.None, out result);
Assert.IsTrue(b);
Assert.AreEqual(expected, result);
DateTime result = DateTime.Parse("الاربعاء 16 مارس 2011", new CultureInfo("ar-JO"));
但是你可以检查文档：CultureInfo Class
maybe something like this:
int Year, DayOfMonth;
string Month;
string[] Months = new string[] {"ينایر","فبرایر","مارس","ابریل","مایو",...};//these texts are writen with persian keyboard,change the ی with ي ,its really hard with my keymap
string[] Splits = Input.Split(" ");
foreach(string Split in Splits)
{
if(Months.Contains(Split))
{
Month = Months.IndexOf(Split);
}
else
{
int Number;
if(int.TryParse(Split, out Number))
{
if(Number<32)
{
DayOfMonth=Number;
}
else
{
Year=Number;
}
}
}
}
if your going to support multiple calendars:
you should add all the calendars months in order in that array.
after december there should be the next calendar months ( rabi-ol-avval, rabi-ol-thani, ...)
then
int CalendarId = Month / 12;
Month %= 12;
