Well, than don't try to assing a string to a datetime variable! What's wrong with something like this:

C#

if (Txtfromdate.SelectedDateValue.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Monday)
{
lblmsg.Text = "Yo must select the monday date only";
return;
}

Assuming that SelectedDateValue field is of type DateTime, since it is not clear what kind of object Txtfromdate is.

Solution 2

Dont use ToString(), Use

Txtfromdate.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString()
