    Resolved [2005] Just can't get a string to format

    I have a 'date' string value of "19561206" which is 12/06/1956 but for the life of me I can't get a format/converter that will convert this to a ShortDateString. I would also gladly settle to just format the string as it is to "12/06/1956" ( I can do that very manually but looking for a better way).

    Does anyone have a slick way to do this?

    Edit:
    Thanks for the input... we landed up simply formatting the string to "1956-12-06" then crunching it through DateTime.TryParse().ToShortDateString() and that worked just fine. Sloppy but meets the needs for now.
