Answer 1

The date time components TimeOfDay is what you need.

MSDN says "Unlike the Date property, which returns a DateTime value that represents a date without its time component, the TimeOfDay property returns a TimeSpan value that represents a DateTime value's time component."

Here is an example with consideration of all your scenarios.
Since you are sure of the format you can use DateTime.Parse else please use DateTime.TryParse

var dateTime1 = System.DateTime.Parse("1980/10/11 12:00:00");
var dateTime2 = System.DateTime.Parse("2010/APRIL/02 17:10:00");
var dateTime3 = System.DateTime.Parse("10/02/10 03:30:34");
var dateTime4 = System.DateTime.Parse("02/20/10");

if (dateTime1.TimeOfDay.TotalSeconds == 0) {
    Console.WriteLine("1980/10/11 12:00:00 - does not have Time");
} else {
    Console.WriteLine("1980/10/11 12:00:00 - has Time");
}

if (dateTime2.TimeOfDay.TotalSeconds == 0) {
    Console.WriteLine("2010/APRIL/02 17:10:00 - does not have Time");
} else {
    Console.WriteLine("2010/APRIL/02 17:10:00 - Has Time");
}

if (dateTime3.TimeOfDay.TotalSeconds == 0) {
    Console.WriteLine("10/02/10 03:30:34 - does not have Time");
} else {
    Console.WriteLine("10/02/10 03:30:34 - Has Time");
}

if (dateTime4.TimeOfDay.TotalSeconds == 0) {
    Console.WriteLine("02/20/10 - does not have Time");
} else {
    Console.WriteLine("02/20/10 - Has Time");
}
