<p>How would I format the standard RSS pubDate string as something closer to ASP.NET's DateTime?</p>

<p>So, from this:</p>

<p>Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:14:48 +0000</p>

<p>to this:</p>

<p>10/29/2008 2:14 PM</p>

Something close to this should work:
```
```
string orig = "Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:14:48 +0000";
string newstring = String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt}", DateTime.Parse(orig.Remove(orig.IndexOf(" +"))));
```
```
