DateTime convert

[Ha ha]

How can I convert a string like '200412240000' to a DateTime type.

Use the ToString() method...

DateTime myTime = DateTime.Now;
string myTimeSting = myTime.ToString ( "yyyyMMddHHmm");

DateTimeFormatInfo myDTFI = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
myDTFI.ShortDatePattern = "yyyyMMddHHmm";
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(pDateString, myDTFI);

How can I convert a string like '200412240000' to a DateTime type.

I would suggest using the DateTime.ParseExact method.
