You can format the date in c# using .ToString("format of Date") on datetime variable

for Ex:
DateTime dt = new DateTime(2009, 10, 10);
dt.ToString("D", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US"))

this will display as DayOf the Week, Month 10, 2008

assume input as string and check the length of string and if its 7 the the write the code for that-eg 1985102,- add 102 ads using datetime.adddays(102) and string length 8(1985W155) the extract the string (0-3)-1985, st(5-6) -15, st7-5, then multiply 17* 7 + add days the use above method to add days, there will be some easier methods other than this, lets check method in DateTime.UtcNow. function

you can check the custom formats here and if your input dates matches any of the formats and culture specific formats you could convert them appropriately..

other than that, I am afraid you need to corret the source dates or apply your custom logic...
