Parsing Integer Value As Datetime

Question

I have date represented as integer like 20140820 and I want to parsing it as datetime, like 2014.08.20.

Do I need to parse each integer value (2014)(08)

Answer 1

Try This :-

string time = "20140820";
DateTime theTime= DateTime.ParseExact(time,
                                    "yyyyMMdd",
                                    CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
                                    DateTimeStyles.None);

---

OR

string str = "20140820";
string[] format = {"yyyyMMdd"};
DateTime date;

DateTime.TryParseExact(str, 
                          format, 
                          System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
                          System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, 
                          out date))

now date variable will have required converted date of string '20140820'
