title: Convert this string to datetime object
body: <p>I know that one can convert a string to a dateTime() object, but as far as I know the string needs to be in a particular form already e.g. "20121029".</p>
  
  <p>I have a string that looks exactly like this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>2012-10-29T08:45:00.000</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>...Push in the right direction anyone?</p>
