G, you are right. The code I pasted is not what I'm using. There is a
subtle difference, but I was mostly trying to strip that off before doing
the parsing. Since the GMT value is there it could be added into the mix,
but I didn't need that granularity for what I was doing. I don't know if
ParseDateTime() would like the +- or Z stuff from UTC. I suspect not.

CTime Mycode::ConvertUTCDateTime(LPCTSTR szDateTime)
{
     // Parse the start date from format 2008-04-03T16:03:52+08:00
     CString cs = szDateTime;
     int i = cs.Find(_T('T'));
     if(i != -1) {
          CString csDate = cs.Left(i);
          CString csTime = cs.Mid(i+1);
          i = csTime.ReverseFind(_T('+'));
          if(i == -1) {
               i = csTime.ReverseFind(_T('-'));
          }
          if(i != -1) {
               // Use GMT?
               csTime = csTime.Left(i);
         }
          cs.Format(_T("%s %s"),csDate,csTime);
          COleDateTime oTime;
          if(oTime.ParseDateTime(cs)) {
               SYSTEMTIME sTime;
               oTime.GetAsSystemTime(sTime);
               return CTime(sTime);
          }
     }
     return CTime::GetCurrentTime();
}
