Thanks.

Sure! What have you tried yourself, so far? What trouble are you running into? Any relevant code? — J. Steen

DateTime.ParseExact(s, "yyyyMMdd").ToLocalTime()

The MM needs to be capital, because mm means minutes, not months.

Use DateTime.Parse().

If the input string does not have the timezone offset included (for example, 03/01/2009 05:42:00 -5:00, Sat, 01 Nov 2008 19:35:00 GMT or 2008-11-01T19:35:00.0000000-07:00), then ensure that the DateTme.Kind is "Utc", then call DateTime.ToLocal() to convert it to the local time zone.

Would you not be better using

DateTime.TryParse(String DateString, out DateTime result)

Then should anything be wrong you won't get the exception thrown - you can check the values instead (or use a IF)!
