	NBElementDateTimeType convertVia
)
Public Shared Function ToDateTimeOffset ( _
	value As NBElement, _
	format As String, _
	convertVia As NBElementDateTimeType _
) As DateTimeOffset
public:
static DateTimeOffset ToDateTimeOffset(
	NBElement^ value, 
	String^ format, 
	NBElementDateTimeType convertVia
)
static member ToDateTimeOffset : 
        value:NBElement * 
        format:string * 
        convertVia:NBElementDateTimeType -> DateTimeOffset 
Parameters
value (NBElement)
The element whose value is to be converted.
format (String)
The format specifier for the convertion.
convertVia (NBElementDateTimeType)
The type conversion qualifier for element.
Return Value
The current element's value converted to a DateTimeOffset data type using the specified format and conversion.
Remarks

As there are multiple choices when converting from a broker type to a DateTimeOffset, this method allows you greater control over how the convertion is performed. The value is first converted to the convertVia type, and then subsequently converted to a DateTimeOffset.

The format string uses the syntax documented in the Infocenter in the topic "Formatting and parsing dateTimes as strings (ak05616)".

Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
FormatExceptionThrown if the value can not be converted to a DateTimeOffset with specified format and conversion.
