Use DateTime.ParseE xact, passing it the format of the date within the string.

Re: Convert string to date format

Tom seemed to only give you half of it.

string d = "11022005";
string formatted = DateTime.ParseE xact(d,
"ddMMyyyy").ToS tring("MM/dd/yyyy");

Or if you prefer, the string-only solution:
string d = "11022005";
string formatted = d.Substring(2,2 ) + '/' + d.Substring(0,2 ) + '/' +
d.Substring(4,4 );
