Xamarin.IOS date format

Question

I am currently working on a app which should be able to scan some codes, QR etc.

However when I am scanning a VEVENT code the date format is looking like this:

20140713T190000Z

My question is basicly how I can convert this into a normal DateTime which I can use to add events to the calender?

Thanks in advance

Try this for c#

NSDateFormatter dateFormat = new NSDateFormatter();
dateFormat.DateFormat = "d MMM yyyy";  
dateFormat.ToString(picker.Date);

use DateTime.ParseExact

DateTime d = DateTime.ParseExact("20140713T190000Z","yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss'Z'",null);

use following code:

NSDate *currDate = [NSDate date];
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd.MM.YY HH:mm:ss"];
    NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:currDate];

    yourLabel.text=dateString;

Any posibility you could translate it to C#? :) – Emil Elkjær Jun 18 '14 at 13:07

this code appears to format the current date into a string, which is not what the OP is asking about. – Jason Jun 18 '14 at 17:31
