if (pnltxtDate.Text != ) { objJobBL.JobDate = Convert.ToDateTime(pnltxtDate.Text);//stringToDateConversion(pnltxtDate.Text dd/MM/yyyy); } else { objJobBL.JobDate = null; } this works for me...

@Ananth G: Only post one time as a solution initially. Posting multiple times is not a good approach at helping people. All of your posts can be a single one. I hope you will not abuse the forums anymore. :-)

The only problem is that you are having the value as string. You need to pass it as variable. bjJobBL.JobDate =Convert.ToDateTime( txtDate.Text ); // Remove  // Like bjJobBL.JobDate =Convert.ToDateTime(txtDate.Text); This will remove the error in your code.

CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo( en-US ); DateTime tempDate = Convert.ToDateTime( 1/1/2010 12:10:15 PM  culture);
