Parse a date and time from a string
Given the string
"2008-05-06 13:29", parse it as a date representing 6th March, 2008 1:29:00pm in the local time zone.
fsharp
let dateTime = DateTimeOffset.Parse("2008-05-06 13:29")
// Use format specifiers to appropriately format string
// 1. Default culture
printfn "%s" (dateTime.ToString("d MMMM, yyyy h:mm:sstt"))
// 2. Nominated culture
Console.WriteLine("{0}", dateTime.ToString("d MMMM, yyyy h:mm:sstt"), Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-us"))
// Use format specifiers to appropriately format string

printfn "%s" (dateTime.ToString("d MMMM, yyyy h:mm:sstt"))
// 2. Nominated culture
Console.WriteLine("{0}", dateTime.ToString("d MMMM, yyyy h:mm:sstt"), Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-us"))
let dateTime = DateTimeOffset.Parse("2008-05-06 13:29")
// Customize date/time string
let dsb = ((new StringBuilder(40)).Append(dateTime.ToString("%d")).Append("th ").Append(dateTime.ToString("MMMM, yyyy h:mm:ss")).Append(dateTime.ToString("tt").ToLower()))
printfn "%s" (dsb.ToString())

Display information about a date
Display the day of month, day of year, month name and day name of the day 8 days from now.

Using F# interactive
> let Then = DateTime.Now.AddDays(8.0)
- let dayNumber = Then.DayOfYear.ToString()
- let solution = Then.ToString("dd " + dayNumber + " MMMM dddd");;
val Then : DateTime = 08/08/2010 08:58:05
val dayNumber : string = "220"
val solution : string = "08 220 August Sunday"

Display the current date and time
Create a Date object representing the current date and time. Print it out.
If you can also do this without creating a Date object you can show that too.
