Use the DateTime.ParseExact method.

public DateTime ShortDateStringToDate(string dateText)
{
    if (dateText == null)
        return DateTime.MinValue;

    if (dateText.Length != 14)
        throw new ArgumentException();

    string dateFormatString = "yyyyMMddHHmmss";
    return DateTime.ParseExact(dateText, dateFormatString, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
}

DateTime when = DateTime.ParseExact("20101001151014", "yyyyMMddHHmmss",
    CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Points to note: 24-hour hour is HH; 2-digit month is MM

DateTime.ParseExact you can use and parse it

  DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("20101001151014", "yyyyMMddHHmmss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
