Hi From where you are getting this value ? Do simple splitting or replacing. Replace T with and remove three characters from the end of the string you wont get this error. I think you are using C# codes datetime.Now() function and saving it to some place or a variable. Dont worry splitting and replacing will work. Hope it helps. Thanks.
