Dear All,

C#

if (IsPostBack)
{
 AttendanceDate = DateTime.Parse(HttpContext.Current.Session["AttendanceLogDate"].ToString()); 
}
else
{
 AttendanceDate = Convert.ToDateTime(HttpContext.Current.Session["AttendanceLogDate"].ToString());
}

The above code is working fine. Please clarify me that why this conversion requires postbacks.

Now, I have changed my working machine,VS2012. Now the above code is not working and throws "string is not valid datetime".
