Use DateTime.ParseExact:

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact (s, "yyyyMMdd",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

try this:

DateTimeFormatInfo myDTFI = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
myDTFI.DateSeparator = string.Empty;
myDTFI.FullDateTimePattern = mask;
string s = "20050302";
DateTime d = DateTime.ParseExact(s, myDTFI);
