        • pitfall
        • bug

        When converting a string representation of a date and time to a DateTime object or any other temporal type with one of the available system parsing methods, you should always provide an IFormatProvider parameter.

        Why is this an issue?

        How can I fix it?

        More Info

        If you try to parse a string representation of a date or time without a format provider, the method will use the machine’s CultureInfo; if the given string does not follow it, you’ll have an object that does not match the string representation or an unexpected runtime error.

        This rule raises an issue for the following date and time string representation parsing methods:

        • Parse
        • ParseExact
        • TryParse
        • TryParseExact

        Of the following types:

        • System.DateOnly
        • System.DateTime
        • System.DateTimeOffset
        • System.TimeOnly
        • System.TimeSpan
