When you debug, what value does this line return
((TextBox)(GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[3].Controls[0])).Text ?

Solution 3

may be this error occurred on datetime casting. you can try as

DateTime dt = new DateTime();
dt = DateTime.ParseExact(your date in string format and if dd/MM/yyyy format, "dd/MM/yyyy", null);
now use dt in future.

Solution 4

When you retrive data from sql you use this command

select convert(varchar(10),Stockdate,103) as stdate from tableName

it will return date in dd/mm/yyyy format
than you can easily bind this to text box
text='<%Eval("stdate")%>'

Using Find Control method you can find out the Text box that contains date.
Now assign this text box text property to specific object property.

C#

TextBox txtdate= (TextBox)GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("txtdate");
objBusinessUI.StockDate=txtdate.text;

or 

objBusinessUI.StockDate=DateTime.Parse(txtdate.text);

if StockDate datatype is date.

Hope this one help you.
