Try as below

DateTime.ParseExact(finalList, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

or

DateTime.ParseExact(finalList, "MM/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

in your code, you can do the following:
```
string theDate = dateTimePicker1.Value.ToShortDateString();
```
or, if you'd like to specify the format of the date:
```
string theDate = dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
```

You need to parse your selected date

string Date2 = DateTime.Parse(datepicker.Text);

and keep your code in try catch blocks. Thanks
