That's ISO 8601. The '-' separators are optional in this format.

You can't parse it with the normal DateTime.Parse method, but you can use ParseExact:

DateTime.ParseExact(date, "yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

If you have a mix of dates, some with separators and some without, you might need to use a regex to extract the relevant information and then construct the DateTime object.
