This API is not CLS-compliant. 

Namespace:  System.Xml.Linq
Assembly:  System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Narrowing Operator CType ( _
    attribute As XAttribute _
) As DateTimeOffset

public static explicit operator DateTimeOffset (
    XAttribute attribute
)

Parameters

Type: System.DateTimeOffset
A DateTimeOffset that contains the content of this XAttribute.

Remarks

This conversion operator uses the XmlConvert class to do the conversion.

Examples

The following example creates an attribute with date and time content. It then casts it to DateTimeOffset to retrieve the value.

Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim root As XElement = _
    <Root
        Att=<%= New DateTimeOffset(New DateTime(2006, 10, 6, 12, 30, 0)) %>/>
output.Append(root)
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)

' casting from a strictly formatted XML attribute
Dim dt As DateTimeOffset = CType(root.Attribute("Att"), DateTimeOffset)
output.Append(String.Format("dt={0}", dt))
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()

StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
XElement root = new XElement("Root",
    new XAttribute("Att", new DateTimeOffset(new DateTime(2006, 10, 6, 12, 30, 0)))
);
output.Append(root + Environment.NewLine);

// casting from a strictly formatted XML attribute
DateTimeOffset dt = (DateTimeOffset)root.Attribute("Att");
output.Append("dt=" + dt + Environment.NewLine);

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
