Use try Parse Exact method

C#

    DateTime localDate = DateTime.ParseExact("20120726T063000Z","yyyyMMdd\\Thhmmss\\Z",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InstalledUICulture);

Console.WriteLine(localDate.ToString());

output will be
7/26/2012 6:30:00 AM

Here is one way to do it.

string strDate = "20120726T063000Z\r";
strDate = strDate.Replace("T", "").Replace("\r", "").Replace("Z", "");

DateTime MyDateTime;
MyDateTime = new DateTime();
MyDateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(strDate, "yyyyMMddHHmmss", null);

Solution 3

C#

string dateString, format;
DateTime result;
CultureInfo provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
// Parse date-only value with invariant culture.
dateString = "20120726T063000Z";
format = "yyyyMMddThhmmssssZ";
result = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, format, provider);

Thanks,
