This afternoon I was trying to covert a string representation of a list Items EventDate value. But without much luck.

As you can see, no matter how I converted it, it would add an additional 9.5 Hours to it. 9.5 Hours of the GMT offset for Adelaide, Australia.

The solution, Take out the “Z” on the end.

DateTime EventDate = Convert.ToDateTime(this.Item[EventDateFieldName].ToString().Replace("Z", ""));

This will stop the adding of an additional GMT offset to the DateTime object and can be used anywhere you see the “Z” in any of your datetimes!
