Still having the same error.

sir, 1 point because "dd/MM/yyyy" and "dd/MMM/yyyy" makes no difference as in first case it shows "03/02/2014" and in second it shows "03/Feb/2014".

Solution 3

You wont be getting this error ( String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.) for the code provided by you..

C#

lbl_DateFrom.Text = carIndv.dateFrom.ToString("dd/MMM/yyyy");

check this post for the quoted error String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.[^]

This error you will get, when you are trying to cast invalid string object to DateTime
but you are doing the reverse, hopefully error shouldn't raise...

+5 it's indeed hard to find out the real problem if we don't have the full code.
