DateTime date = Convert .ToDateTime (" txtDate.Text" , System.Globalization. CultureInfo .GetCultureInfo( "hi-IN" ).DateTimeFormat);

if (pnltxtDate.Text != "") { objJobBL.JobDate = Convert.ToDateTime(pnltxtDate.Text);//stringToDateConversion(pnltxtDate.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy"); } else { objJobBL.JobDate = null; } this works for me...

@Ananth G: Only post one time as a solution, initially. Posting multiple times is not a good approach at helping people. All of your posts can be a single one. I hope you will not abuse the forums anymore. :-)

The only problem is that you are having the value as string. You need to pass it as variable. bjJobBL.JobDate =Convert.ToDateTime( "txtDate.Text" ); // Remove "" // Like bjJobBL.JobDate =Convert.ToDateTime(txtDate.Text); This will remove the error in your code.
