Question

Is there an equivalent of PHP\'s strtotime() function working on .NET Framework. I\'m talking about it\'s capacity to handle strings likes:

Answer 1

I think you'll have to write your own method.

"now" is just DateTime.Now.

"+1 day" would be DateTime.Now.AddDays(1) for example.

So you'll need to parse your string looking for this type of input and then call the appropriate DateTime method. The fall-through case would be to pass the string through DateTime.Parse(String, IFormatProvider, DateTimeStyles) with different DateTimeStyles.
