Converting 8 digit number to DateTime Type

Question

I want to convert 8 digit value to a DateTime object. How can I do this? For example, if a user enters 08082010 then it should convert it to 08/08/2010, using C#.

Answer 1

CultureInfo provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
string dateString = "08082010";
string format = "MMddyyyy";
DateTime result = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, format, provider);

This will work.
