    Most of dates are built like this: 

    xsysz

    Where s is a separator that can be '/', '.', ' ' or even ''. x, y and z are digits. The problem is that you cannot solve the date format for every possible date because of its ambiguity: 

    Example: 3-2-2010 

Germany: 3rd February 2010
USA: 2nd March 2010

    You need additional information (is there any separator?) or some preconditions (year-month-day or year-day-month?) in order to be able to do that. (Same for time… of course)

    If you have this preconditions, so you might try with regular expressions. DateTime isn’t able to do that for you.
