Wow! Uhh... well unfortunately the code path for each of these goes through
a native function:
Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.UnsafeNativeMethods::LCMapStringA.
I'm guessing that somewhere in there they strip the parens and single quotes
out leaving only the numeric chars which they then pass on to
DateTime::Parse with the current culture. The only way to know for sure
would be to do some native debugging.
I've never seen a date string like that before. Out of curiousity, what
result should one expect from such a format?
Later,
Drew
