I had an issue during the DateTime.TryParse Method.
I'm from Germany and my System has been set up in german. So my VisualStudio (which is relating to my system settings) tries to parse for a german time format.
After reading the DateTime.TryParse documentation I found out, that I should provide some further regional information for the DateTime-String I'd like to parse for.
Here's my code I'm currently using:
// values[0] → GameDate
DateTime gameDate;
CultureInfo culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");
DateTimeStyles styles = DateTimeStyles.None;
if (DateTime.TryParse(values[0], culture, styles, out gameDate))
{
gameResult.GameDate = gameDate;
}
Maybe there's a prettier solution but at least it works properly.
I solved it by myself but I think it's pretty nice having this question here for anyone tackling the same issues.
