Parsing date string with OracleDate.Parse for non-English date

Post by JacksonC » Wed 11 Nov 2015 07:32

Hi,
I am having a problem trying to parse date string with OracleDate.Parse for formats like DD-MON-YYYY in non-English environment.
For example, with a NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE of "IRISH", Oracle expects 25-BEAL -2006 but OracleDate.Parse can only parse 25-May-2006.

How can I specify the language for OracleDate.Parse to parse multiple different date languages in the same application?

I also tried changing the date language of the object gotten from OracleGlobalization.GetApplicationInfo, then passing it back with SetApplicationInfo to see if it is related but it does not seem to help.

OracleDate.Parse doesn't support non English dates at the moment. Please submit your request at http://devart.uservoice.com/forums/2251 ... rt-general.
