Solution 1

Hi

C#

string dateString = "10112009"; 
    string format = "ddMMyyyy";
    DateTime dateTime;
    if (DateTime.TryParseExact(dateString, format, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
        DateTimeStyles.None, out dateTime))
    {
        Console.WriteLine(dateTime.ToString("YYYYMMDD"));
    }

You will get date value in dateTime object then you can perform
dateTime.ToString("YYYYMMDD") and get desired value.
