I am receiving some CSV files where I receive dates in the format yyyyMMddHHmmss and sometimes, yyyyMMdd. I would like to be able to desrialise these into proper DateTime objects.
The .NET framework allows parsing these values as:
string value = "20080414105034";
DateTime.Parse(value); 'FAILURE
DateTime.ParseExact(value, "yyyyMMddHHmmss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); 'SUCCESS
If we could optionally pass in those through settings, then it would really help to deal with these non-standard formats. Sometimes, the data does not follow standard formats for the FileCultureName property. This would then allow this sort of configuration:
