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

Answer 1

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
