Convert string to datetime

[simonZ]

I have string 20070502144551 and I would like to convert this to datetime:

2007-05-02 14:45:51

Is there some function?

Regards,Simon

I have string 20070502144551 and I would like to convert this to
datetime:

2007-05-02 14:45:51

DateTime.ParseExact("20070502144551", "yyyyMMddhhmmss", null);

Or, something like that anyway.

If I try this, I get an error:
String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

Any idea?

Thanks,Simon

This worked for me

DateTime.ParseExact("20070502024551", "yyyyMMddhhmmss", null);

I changed the 14 to 02, you may need a format provider to convert to
24 hour time.

Well, I did say "something like that". The idea being that, with a nudge
in the right direction, you could actually do a little research on your
own to solve your specific problem.

You may want to consult this detailed documentation page for further

Use HH instead of hh, and use CultureInfo.InvariantCulture instead of null.
