Thanks for the reply.

We need the date value length should be 8 characters.For the above value 10 characters will be there.Please adivce to restrict the length to 8 characters.

You can use like below:

string timeStr = "20160222";
DateTime dtObject = DateTime.ParseExact(timeStr, "yyyyMMdd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Hi,

We tried this one also,same result we are getting.The Output will be "2/22/2016".This one also contains 10 character length.

If you trying to make it as 8 characters with DateTime object, then it won't. So you can use datetime object to string like:

string timeStr = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd");

Hi,

This string conversion we know,but the thing is we need to pass the variable in Date Data type.There we face the issue.
