This kind of message can come from just almost anywhere :). Please clarify your question: provide us your page source code, Page_Load() handler code, at least anything. Or even better, put some breakpoints, trace your program, find out the line which is giving you exception... you're gonna need these skills in the future :)

Check your Data Access Layer, and make sure that the datetime returned from your database isnt null or something.

Solution 5

In certain cases – including reading information from a database, quite often – you need to use DateTime.ParseExact. DateTime.Parse (used by default in data binding) will not accept some of the unambiguous formats (like YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss which is typically used by databases).

Correct, a 5. You could also advice to parse with culture parameter which support IFormatProvider.

Solution 1

There is a problem in converting a string to a Date.

Wherever you are converting a string to a date, make sure that the format of the date is proper.

Solution 2

Make sure that u are using System.Globalization and also use generic date format e.g. "dd-MM-yyyy" in the complete application.
