Perhaps you are looking for an AutoCompleteTextView?
The fundamental thing that the Atom creators didn’t understand (and that the Atom supporters still don’t understand), is that Atom isn’t somehow separate from RSS. There’s this idea that RSS fractured, and that somehow Atom fixes that problem. But it doesn’t. Atom is just another RSS splinter. A new name doesn’t change the fact that … Read more

Try this: DateTime today = DateTime.Now; String rfc822 = today.ToString(“r”); Console.WriteLine(“RFC-822 date: {0}”, rfc822); DateTime parsedRFC822 = DateTime.Parse(rfc822); Console.WriteLine(“Date: {0}”, parsedRFC822); The “r” format specifier passed into DateTime’s ToString() method actually yields an RFC-1123-formatted datetime string, but passes as an RFC-822 date as well, based on reading the specification found at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/#z28.
