You are looking for the DateTime Parse   method  MSDN Article   So you can do   var dateTime   DateTime Parse  01 01 2001      Which will give you a DateTime typed object   If you need to specify which date format you want to use  you would use DateTime ParseExact  MSDN Article   Which you would use in a situation like this  Where you are using a British style date format    string   formats     dd MM yyyy    var dateTime   DateTime ParseExact  01 01 2001   formats  new CultureInfo  en-US    DateTimeStyles None

You need an uppercase M for the month part   string strDate   DateTime Now ToString  MM dd yyyy      Lowercase m is for outputting  and parsing  a minute  such as h mm    e g  a full date time string might look like this   string strDate   DateTime Now ToString  MM dd yyyy h mm      Notice the uppercase lowercase mM difference     Also if you will always deal with the same datetime format string  you can make it easier by writing them as C  extension methods   public static class DateTimeMyFormatExtensions     public static string ToMyFormatString this DateTime dt          return dt ToString  MM dd yyyy           public static class StringMyDateTimeFormatExtension     public static DateTime ParseMyFormatDateTime this string s          var culture   System Globalization CultureInfo CurrentCulture      return DateTime ParseExact s   MM dd yyyy   culture             EXAMPLE  Translating between DateTime string  DateTime now   DateTime Now   string strNow   now ToMyFormatString    DateTime nowAgain   strNow ParseMyFormatDateTime      Note that there is NO way to store a custom DateTime format information to use as default as in  NET most string formatting depends on the currently set culture  i e   System Globalization CultureInfo CurrentCulture    The only easy way you can do is to roll a custom extension method   Also  the other easy way would be to use a different  container  or  wrapper  class for your DateTime  i e  some special class with explicit operator defined that automatically translates to and from DateTime string  But that is dangerous territory
