Given a string in an unknown datetime format.
How would you "load" it into a datetime object?

example : String dateStr = ''20090929181523"
 
 
1 Answer
 
The datetime object has a static Parse method which allows the user to
"load" any datetime in any legal format.

String dateStr = ''20090929181523"
DateTime.Parse(dateStr)

If the format is known , the ParseExact method can be used.
