Well, 2018-04-05T19:30:24+08:00 is proper date, which contains information about DateTimeOffset[^] for specific time zone[^].

C#

string sdate = "2018-04-05T19:30:24+08:00";
DateTimeOffset dto = DateTimeOffset.Parse(sdate);
Console.WriteLine("'{0}' => local time: '{1}'", sdate, dto.LocalDateTime);
Console.WriteLine("'{0}' => universal time: '{1}'", sdate, dto.UtcDateTime);

Output:

'2018-04-05T19:30:24+08:00' => local time: '2018-04-05 13:30:24' //for Poland ;)
'2018-04-05T19:30:24+08:00' => universal time: '2018-04-05 11:30:24'

Solution 2

You are parsing a string that contains a TimeZone offset, so the DateTime will replicate that. Use one of the methods provided by DateTime Structure (System)[^].

This is spelled out in the documentation for DateTime.ToString()[^].

You didn't read that link. You're just looking for someone to write your code for you.
