if (objGrpResult.GrpSessionStartDate != null)
                            if (Convert.ToDateTime(ltrlSessionDate).ToString("dd-MM-yyyy") < objGrpResult.GrpSessionStartDate)

Thanks

Accepted answer

if (objGrpResult.GrpSessionStartDate != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(ltrlSessionDate.Text))
{
    DateTime sessionDate = DateTime.ParseExact(ltrlSessionDate.Text, "dd-MM-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
    if (sessionDate < objGrpResult.GrpSessionStartDate)
    {
        // Your code here
    }
}

Hi Rajkiran

It is giving error - Cannot convert from System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal to string on ltrlSessionDate in below line

DateTime sessionDate = DateTime.ParseExact(ltrlSessionDate, "dd-MM-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Thanks
