Convert a string to date format

What about changing the date format to the actual format your string is? ParseExact demands an exact representation of the format you enter.

So the solution is to change yyyy-MM-dd to yyyyMMdd.

string date = "20141021";
DateTime myDate = DateTime.ParseExact(date, "yyyyMMdd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
