Answer 1

Use DateTime.ParseExact:

DateTime time = DateTime.ParseExact("20101127", "yyyyMMdd", null);

nullwill use the current culture, which is somewhat dangerous. You can also specify a specific culture, for example:

DateTime time = DateTime.ParseExact("20101127", "yyyyMMdd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Answer 2

Use DateTime.ParseExact(). Please note that month MM, not MM.

var dateValue = DateTime.ParseExact("20101127", "yyyyMMdd",
    CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Answer 3

Use the method ParseExact.
