If ddMMyyyy is a standard date and time format of your CurrentCulture, you can use DateTime.Parse directly;

var date = DateTime.Parse("12092014");

If it is not, you can use custom date and time format with DateTime.TryParseExact method like;

string s = "12092014";
DateTime dt;
if(DateTime.TryParseExact(s, "ddMMyyyy",
                          CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
                          DateTimeStyles.None, out dt))
{
    Console.WriteLine(dt);
}

I would strongly recommend using `TryParseExact` anyway - it says exactly what the OP is expecting. – Jon Skeet Nov 27 '14 at 07:04
