Convert string to datetime in vb.net

Question

I have a datetime that looks like this:

201210120956
ccyyMMDDhhmm

When I try this:

Dim convertedDate As Date = Date.Parse(D         


        

Answer 1

As an alternative, if you put a space between the date and time, DateTime.Parse will recognize the format for you. That's about as simple as you can get it. (If ParseExact was still not being recognized)
