I know this is probably simple but I cannot find a method of
converting a date string into a format that matches the DatePicker
format in C#

eg string "20080131" converted to "31 January 2008"

I tried datetime.parseexact but could not find the definition for the
appropriate format string.

This would be a very useful tool fo me. Any ideas,please?

Mark,

The format to use when parsing is "yyyyMMdd" while the output for the
new output is "dd MMMM yyyy".

On input parsing you would use "yyyyMMdd", and on output use "dd MMMM yyyy",
