Hi Anupam I have got the solution for my problem. Its the date picker date format problem. I have used a date picker plugin for adding calender in the text box. Its default format is MM/dd/yyyy. But I need to pass the date in the dd/MM/yyyy format. So I need to change the format there by using the below code. $(#txtAddedDate).datepicker({dateformat : dd/mm/yyyy}); Thanks for the Support Anupam.

Hi Abhay In my project I have used a parameter as string AddedDate and I am using a table details this table include AddedDate and other columns. I am using JSON to pass the value entered in the text box AddedDate and it will be stored in the SQL database as well. But when ever I tried today's date or 2 days before today it will show the described error.
