Format exception occured while converting a string to datetime

Question

Hello There! I got an format exception when tried to convert a string to datetime .Actually the string was in correct structure to convert it to datatime it was 8/18/08 10.00am the code is string START_TIME =((DataGrid1.Items[i].Cells[1].Text) +   + (DataGrid1.Items[i].Cells[5].FindControl(Start_Time) as TextBox).Text); i had populated a datagrid cell with month/date/year like DateTime Crnt_Time =DateTime.Now; int day = Crnt_Time.Day; int mnth = Crnt_Time.Month; int yr = Crnt_Time.Year; string Today = day + / + mnth + / + yr; and i have a text box column in my datagrid to enter hours. when i enter Hoursin that text box cell in datagrid it should be tied up with the month/date/year value and stored in a local variable Could you please tell me a solution for this?

Hi I solved it .First of all We have to enter hours in the format of hh:mm .We can make a validation scipt for that and in the code behind  string START_TIME =((DataGrid1.Items[i].Cells[1].Text) +   + (DataGrid1.Items[i].Cells[5].FindControl( Start_Time ) as TextBox ).Text)+ : + 00 ; string END_TIME = ((DataGrid1.Items[i].Cells[1].Text) +   + (DataGrid1.Items[i].Cells[6].FindControl( End_Time ) as TextBox ).Text) + : + 00 ; Parameters[3] = Convert .ToDateTime (START_TIME); Parameters[4] = Convert .ToDateTime(END_TIME);
