hi i think you are getting problem because your culture info is en-US and you are sending date in dd/mm/yyyy format. i am giving a simple example here in vb.net  if it is good u try it in c#. Imports System.Globalization Dim strDate As String = 31/10/2005 '(dd/MM/yyyy) ' if we are not using this  it is treated as 'mm/dd/yyyy' format. Dim myCulture As New CultureInfo(en-GB) Dim dateMyDate As DateTime dateMyDate = Convert.ToDateTime(strDate myCulture) MsgBox(dateMyDate.ToString())

We tried this and there did not seem to be a problem string dtstring = 01/01/2005; DateTime xx = Convert.ToDateTime(dtstring ); Console.WriteLine (xx.ToString() );

have you looked into datatime.parse string myDateTimeValue = 2/16/1992 12:15:12; DateTime myDateTime = DateTime.Parse(myDateTimeValue);
