Add DateTime parser #134

Open jbatte47 opened 11 years ago

jbatte47 commented 11 years ago

Approaches to investigate:

  1. Static list of formats to accept in DateTime.TryParseExact -- could come from config (or anywhere)
  2. Regex parser
  3. Regex-driven format selector

What is the method being added and do you some example use cases? I ask because there's already a DateTime.TryParseExact, although it only supports format strings.

I was actually thinking of a new interface / class: IDateTimeParser / DateTimeParser. Not sure about the method name. That'll probably just be parse, but I'm open to suggestions.
