Convert string to date 2

[DerPflug]

How can I convert a string from "08102004" to "08/10/2004")?

 

[PankajBanga]

one way could be:

Dim str As String = "08102004"

Dim dt As Date = New Date(str.Substring(4), str.Substring(2, 2), str.Substring(0, 2))

MessageBox.Show(dt)

You could do this if you wanted it to use the same variable.

Dim str As String = "08102004"
str = str.Insert(2, "/").Insert(5, "/")

PankajBanga,

Your Solution is great! However, if one wanted to make 08 the month instead of 10, the following slight modification accomplishes it.

Dim str As String = "08102004"

Dim dt As Date = New Date(str.Substring(4), str.Substring(0, 2), str.Substring(2, 2))

MessageBox.Show(dt)

Both solutions work well (ca8spo), depending on your needs. Stars to all!

If you use VB.NET, there is a function Date.Parse...
