如何将DateTime结构转换为等效的RFC 822 date-time格式化字符串表示将此字符串表示形式解析回.NET中的DateTime结构? RFC-822日期时间格式用于许多规范,例如RSS Syndication Format

试试这个:

  DateTime today = DateTime.Now;
  String rfc822 = today.ToString("r");
  Console.WriteLine("RFC-822 date: {0}", rfc822);

  DateTime parsedRFC822 = DateTime.Parse(rfc822);
  Console.WriteLine("Date: {0}", parsedRFC822);

传递给DateTime的ToString()方法的“r”格式说明符实际上产生了RFC-1123格式的日期时间字符串,但也基于阅读http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/#z28处的规范,作为RFC-822日期传递。 。我已经在创建RSS提要时使用了这种方法,并且它们会根据http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi提供的验证程序通过验证。

缺点是,在转换中,它会将日期时间转换为GMT。要转换回本地时间,您需要应用本地时区偏移量。为此,您可以使用TimeZone类来获取当前时区偏移量,并将“GMT”替换为时区偏移字符串:

TimeZone tz = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone;

String offset = tz.GetUtcOffset().ToString();
// My locale is Mountain time; offset is set to "-07:00:00"
// if local time is behind utc time, offset should start with "-".
// otherwise, add a plus sign to the beginning of the string.
if (!offset.StartsWith("-"))
  offset = "+" + offset; // Add a (+) if it's a UTC+ timezone
offset = offset.Substring(0,6); // only want the first 6 chars.
offset = offset.Replace(":", ""); // remove colons.
// offset now looks something like "-0700".
rfc822 = rfc822.Replace("GMT", offset);
// The rfc822 string can now be parsed back to a DateTime object,
// with the local time accounted for.
DateTime new = DateTime.Parse(rfc822);

这是C#中如何解析和转换DateTime与RFC-822表示之间的实现。唯一的限制是DateTime采用协调世界时(UTC)。我同意这不是非常优雅的代码,但它确实起到了作用。

以下是Microsoft如何在Rss20FeedFormatter中执行此操作。对立的代码没有摆脱GMT偏移部分中的“:”。杰夫伍德曼似乎这样做了。下面的代码也是这样做的(如果没有使用Atom10FeedFormatter.zeroOffset)。

private string AsString(DateTimeOffset dateTime)
{
    if (dateTime.Offset == Atom10FeedFormatter.zeroOffset)
    {
        return dateTime.ToUniversalTime().ToString("ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
    }
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(dateTime.T)oString("ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
    builder.Remove(builder.Length - 3, 1);
    return builder.ToString();
}

可能看起来不寻常的第一件事是他们返回[DateTimeOffset][1]课而不是DateTime。但是,当我们阅读更多相关信息时,它似乎完全符合逻辑 - DateTimeOffset存储日期,时间和时区信息(完全与RFC 822格式的字符串相同)。 如果您只返回DateTime对象,它将在:UTC,local或解析后的字符串中指定的时区 - 在某些情况下,任何答案都是错误的。所以DateTimeOffset解决了一个重要的不确定性问题。您可以稍后使用方法DateTimeOffset.ToUniversalTime()DateTimeOffset.ToLocalTime()将其转换为时区。

我在几个案例中对它进行了测试,看起来它完美地完成了这项工作。

我不确定,为什么微软决定将此实施设为私有 - 它似乎不需要大量支持。

根据Kirk Liemohn的回答,我成功地使用了这种方法:

private DateTimeOffset? ParseDate(string date)
    {
        const string FORMAT = "ddd, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz";
        const string FORMAT2 = "ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz";
        const string FORMAT3 = "dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz";
        const string FORMAT4 = "d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz";
        DateTimeOffset d;
        if (DateTimeOffset.TryParseExact(date, new string[] { FORMAT, FORMAT2, FORMAT3, FORMAT4 }, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.AllowLeadingWhite | DateTimeStyles.AllowTrailingWhite, out d))
            return d;
        return null;
    }

示例:

DateTimeOffset? date = ParseDate("Thu, 5 Apr 2012 23:47:37 +0200");
Console.WriteLine(date.ToString());
// => 05/04/2012 23:47:37 +02:00

它不尊重RFC的完整规范,但它适用于我的用例。

具体来说,它不适用于时区表达如:“GMT”,“CST”等(见"zone" in RFC822 Section 5.1)。请参阅better answer of Oleksandr Pshenychnyy

答案 5 :(得分:1)

以下是我使用扩展方法的实现:

namespace MyNamespace
{
    public static partial class ExtensionMethods
    {
        public static string ToRFC822String(this DateTime timestamp)
        {
            return timestamp.ToString("ddd',' d MMM yyyy HH':'mm':'ss")
                + " "
                + timestamp.ToString("zzzz").Replace(":", "");
        }
    }
 }

使用:

 using MyNamespace;

 ....

 string MyRFC822String = DateTime.Now.ToRFC822String();
