Solution 1

MS does have support for hijri calendars HijriCalendar Class (System.Globalization)[^] ... Matt Johnson's answer here on SO may help if you're trying to do hijri <-> Gregorian conversion ..

I know one thing .. the 'en-US' here

Quote:
Convert.ToDateTime(txtDOB.Text, CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US").DateTimeFormat);

would be wrong
