TxtPolCreatedDate.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(TxtPolCreatedDate.Text).ToString("dd/MMM/yyyy");

Its working fine on local machine but not working on server . I have also checked for the Date.Parse() and specify culture as suggested on

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9xk1h71t(v=vs.110).aspx.

But not working..

It gives error : "String was not in Correct Format"

Know the answer? Post it — somebody with the same question will find it here.

It is the same account you read, post and publish with — and you will come straight back to this page.

I believe you cannot convert any string to datetime. A better solution is normalize that string cheking if is a Date, if is not you need to start search for some format: YYYY-MM-DD, DD.MM.YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY and so on... after that convert as DateTime

In which format are you giving the value to the textbox TxtPolCreatedDate.Text?
Try giving value in yyyy-MM-dd format and check.
