Namespace:  Aras.IOM
Assembly:  IOM (in IOM.dll) Version: 14.0.20.39432
Syntax
Copy
public string ConvertToNeutral(
	string svalue,
	string vtype,
	[OptionalAttribute] string datePtrn
)

Parameters

svalue
Type: SystemString
Locale specific string representation of a value that has to be converted.
vtype
Type: SystemString
Type of the value; only the following types are considered to be locale specific - 'date' | 'float' | 'decimal'
datePtrn (Optional)
Type: SystemString
The parameter is taken into consideration only if vtype='date'. In this case user can specify the exact format that is used in the string representation of a date in svalue. In case vtype='date' but the parameter is not specified or passed as null or empty string then an attempt is made to parse the svalue assuming that it has a valid format for the session locale.

Return Value

Type: String
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
FormatExceptionsvalue does not contain a valid string representation of the type defined by the vtype
Remarks
Note that in case vtype='date' and svalue contails time zone offset (e.g. "2008-10-22T16:20:00-0500") the svalue represents a concrete moment of time which is different from the case when svalue doesn't have an offset (e.g. "2008-10-22T16:20:00") because "no offset" value can be interpreted as different moments of time depending of the time zone in which the value is processed. If svalue doesn't have an offset it's interpreted as the date-time in the time zone of the session. If svalue has an offset (i.e. it represents a concrete moment of time) it's represented as the same moment of time in the time zone of the session. For instance, if time zone of the session is "Eastern Standard Time" and svalue is "2008-12-25T18:25:00+0100" then the methods returns "2008-12-25T12:25:00".
