If I have a date such as 2011-05-05T11:35:47.743-04:00
How can I ignore the timezone (-04:00) when I do a DateTime.ParseExact programatically?

Why do you want to ignore it? Store it in UTC – Oskar Kjellin Jul 13 '11 at 09:52

1You can get the `DateTime` via `dt.DateTime`, or is it you are not on 3.5 ? – V4Vendetta Jul 13 '11 at 10:47
