试试这个

DateTime myDate = DateTime.Parse(dateString);

一个更好的方法是:

DateTime myDate;
if (!DateTime.TryParse(dateString, out myDate))
{
    // handle parse failure
}

string input;
DateTime db;
Console.WriteLine("Enter Date in this Format(YYYY-MM-DD): ");
input = Console.ReadLine();
db = Convert.ToDateTime(input);

//////// this methods convert string value to datetime
///////// in order to print date

Console.WriteLine("{0}-{1}-{2}",db.Year,db.Month,db.Day);

这招对我很管用:

CultureInfo provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("2009-05-08 14:40:52,531","yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,fff", provider);

你想快点吗?

假设您有一个格式为yyMMdd的日期。

我发现转换它的最快方法是:

var d = new DateTime(
(s[0] - '0') * 10 + s[1] - '0' + 2000, 
(s[2] - '0') * 10 + s[3] - '0', 
(s[4] - '0') * 10 + s[5] - '0')

只需根据您选择的日期格式选择索引。如果你需要速度，你可能不介意函数的“非泛型”方式。

此方法所需时间约为以下操作所需时间的10%:

var d = DateTime.ParseExact(s, "yyMMdd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

如果您不确定输入值，也可以如下所示使用DateTime.TryParseExact()。

DateTime outputDateTimeValue;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact("2009-05-08 14:40:52,531", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,fff", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out outputDateTimeValue))
{
    return outputDateTimeValue;
}
else
{
    // Handle the fact that parse did not succeed
}

似乎没有人实现过扩展方法。通过@CMS的回答:
