![]() | Thrown if the value can not be converted to a Nullable<DateTimeOffset> with specified format and conversion. |
Remarks
As there are multiple choices when converting from a broker type to a Nullable<DateTimeOffset>, this method allows you greater control over how the convertion is performed. The value is first converted to the convertVia type, and then subsequently converted to a Nullable<DateTimeOffset>.
The format string uses the syntax documented in the Information Center in the topic "Formatting and parsing dateTimes as strings (ak05616)".
