I would say the easiest would be to extract the different parts: Year, Month, Day, Hour, Min, Sec and then use EncodeDateTime() to return a TDateTime type.
I have implemented (with unit tests) the last format (ISO 8601) in the tiOPF project. I use that for storing my dates in a database. See the tiUtils.pas unit in the tiOPF project on SF.net: http://tinyurl.com/69a5nf See the following functions: tiDateTimeAsIntlDateStor tiDateTimeAsIntlDateDisp tiIntlDateStorAsDateTime tiIntlDateDispAsDateTime Hope this helps...
