Hi Karthikvadugan,

The getXML() changes the date format to UTC. May need to read the XML and convert the date formats before insert into the sql server. Can use the following conversion code to convert UTC format string to any other DateTime format.

string result = Convert.ToDateTime("2011-02-04T00:00:00+05:30").ToString("MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss tt");

If you specify the datacolumn date time mode unspecified then it won't append that +5:30 hours.

myDateColumn.DateTimeMode = System.Data.DataSetDateTime.Unspecified;

However it is better to consider the UTC offset if users from different time zone enter the data. For that need to store the data in a common time format then convert to any zone at the time of display. Can substract the +5:30 offset, so get the meridian time and store. Later may convert to IST and display. If the data input from a same timezone then just ignore the UTC offset.
