String was not recognized as a valid DateTime

Ramco Ramco

DateTime? dtFrom = null;

DateTime PMDate2 = DateTime.ParseExact(ddlDates.SelectedItem.Value, "dd-MM-yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
dtFrom = Convert.ToDateTime(PMDate2.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));

Thanks

Try this, hope this might help.

var dateString = ddlDates.SelectedItem.Text;

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(dateString))   
{  
    DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, "dd-MM-yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
}
