string vlaue = 19851231 // yyyyMMdd

DateTime dateTime = 1985/12/31;

Answer 1

string time = "19851231"; DateTime theTime= DateTime.ParseExact(time, "yyyyMMdd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None); 

Answer 2

look at the static methods DateTime.Parse() and DateTime.TryParse() . They allow you to pass a date string and a format string and return a DateTime object.
