I'm using Web API to query Twitter's REST api and I'm trying to parse the created_at
value to a DateTime
using DateTime.ParseExact(...)
:
CreatedAt = DateTime.ParseExact(tweet["created_at"],
"ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss K yyyy",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
DateTimeStyles.AdjustToUniversal)
I get the following exception:
The best overloaded method match for 'System.DateTime.ParseExact(string, string, System.IFormatProvider, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles)' has some invalid arguments.
An example value of tweet["created_at"]
is : Wed Feb 15 19:06:56 +0000 2017
Please try
CreatedAt = DateTime.ParseExact(tweet["created_at"].ToString(),
"ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss K yyyy",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
DateTimeStyles.AdjustToUniversal)
The problem isn't that the format is wrong, it's that the arguments going into ParseExact are wrong, so my guess would be that tweet[] doesn't return a string type.
