So I have a piece of code which parses and validates user input:
DateTime myDateTime = DateTime.Parse(userInput,currentCulture);
Current culture is being set (to en-ca or en-fr) and the user Input is always in ISO 8601 format "yyyy-MM-dd".
If the user enters 1900-01-01 the date is created as expected. If the input is "1900-01+01" the date time created is 1899-12-31 6:00:00 PM No exception is thrown, the DateTime.Parse happily converts this to the wrong date.
To make this work I am using DateTime.ParseExact(userInput,"yyyy-MM-dd",currentCulture).
So my question is: whats up with the +01 or any + value? Am I missing something in ISO standard?
