var userdateformat = DateTime.ParseExact("20101020", "yyyyMMdd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
Modify as you want to modify.

var result = DateTime.ParseExact("20100102", "yyyyMMdd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
Modify as needed.

IFormatProvider culture = new CultureInfo("en-EN", false); // use your culture info
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(myDateTimeString, "yyyyMMdd", culture, DateTimeStyles.NoCurrentDateDefault);
yyyyMMdd is input format here.
And then if you wish convert it to string:
String output = String.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", dt);

Right - except that it probably makes sense either to use
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture or CultureInfo.InvariantCulture dependening on the scenario.

I changed user override to false. So it uses default now. But it will not cause any problems here even it overrides. Or am I wrong?
You can use DateTime.ParseExact method

string strStartDateMain = "20100102";
string strStartDateFinal = new DateTime(Convert.ToInt32strStartDateMain.Substring(0, 4)), Convert.ToInt32(strStartDateMain.Substring(4, 2)), Convert.ToInt32(strStartDateMain.Substring(6))).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

I got this answer by doing R&D on that topic. Here If we have a string like "20100102", Than we can get output like "02/01/2010"

Bah, this really isn't the way to do it.

Custom date parsing FTL. Don't reinvent the wheel.

Indeed, this isn't the right way to do it. This will give somewhat cryptic error messages if the format isn't quite right, or if the string is too short.
Ashish
This is only used whene our strStartDateMain will comes in a same range and length.
