I would like to convert to Date format. How can i
NOTE: I'm assuming C# because of the lower-case `string` type. If it's another language, please edit your question accordingly.

A:
The power of Google. There are a thousand articles and results on Google.
Putting even the minimum amount of effort into this problem would give you the answer. You must learn the skill of working things out for yourself, especially when the problem is so simple.

@Brian: I don't think this is necessarily being mean. He's pretty accurate in what he says. I have a couple of co-workers who ask questions of this level without ever touching a search engine. Though I will agree with you on one point: if it's so annoying to have this question asked, then why bother answering it?

Hi Brian: That was mean? Every sentence is true, and to the point. It might be a reality check, this question is asking for someone else to 'learn for them'. It's surely better to point out that they can work it out by themself than feed them the answer. I'm all for keeping SO a question-and-answer site, but in software, as every discipline, shifting your perspective on a bad problem is better than solving it; i.e., 'learn to learn' was my advice. My answer = they may take offence but next time Google first. Actual answer = new question posted tomorrow 'how to convert integer to string?'.

A:
Assuming you are using C# and .Net you will want to use DateTime.ParseExact or DateTime.TryParseExact. The format string is most likely "yyyyMMdd".
var datestring = "20000101";
var date1 = DateTime.ParseExact(datestring, "yyyyMMdd", null);
// ... or ...
DateTime dateResult;
if (!DateTime.TryParseExact(datestring, "yyyyMMdd",
null, DateTimeStyles.AssumeLocal,
out dateResult))
dateResult = DateTime.MinValue; //handle failed conversion here

Is that your local standard for formatting? You can use the .ToString() from the datetime value to change the output format.

A:
in C/C++, use the time.h (ctime) library's gmtime function, after converting the time to an integer: tm =gmtime(atoi(time_string));
