I have a date that is stored as a string in the format YYYYDDMM. I would like to display that value in a 'MM/DD/YYYY' format. I am programming in c#. The current code that I am using is as follows:
txtOC31.Text = dr["OC31"].ToString().Trim();
strOC31date = dr["OC31DATE"].ToString().Trim();
DateTime date31 = DateTime.Parse(strOC31date);
strOC31date = String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", date31);
However, I am getting an error because the YYYYMMDD string (strOC31date) is not being recognized as a valid datetime.
