As an alternative  if you put a space between the date and time  DateTime Parse will recognize the format for you   That s about as simple as you can get it   If ParseExact was still not being recognized

You can try with ParseExact method  Sample   Dim format As String   format    d   Dim provider As CultureInfo   CultureInfo InvariantCulture result   Date ParseExact DateString  format  provider

Pass the decode pattern to ParseExact  Dim d as string    201210120956  Dim dt   DateTime ParseExact d   yyyyMMddhhmm   Nothing    ParseExact is available only from Net FrameWork 2 0  If you are still on 1 1 you could use Parse  but you need to provide the IFormatProvider adequate to your string
