The problem is that the ToDateTime is unable to understand the format that you are supplying Given below is a sample of how to acheieve it, please extend it string myDateFormat = @"22/03/1979"; System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dateFormatInfo = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo(); dateFormatInfo.ShortDatePattern = @"dd/MM/yy"; System.IFormatProvider format = dateFormatInfo; System.DateTime myDateTime = DateTime.Parse(myDateFormat, format); Console.WriteLine(myDateTime.ToString()); In your case try to define the pattern , then it should work for you Thanks, Jagan Mohan
