What is the contents of usi.RequestFilterRequestFromDate? It is saying
that strDate is not a valid date. Remember, an empty string is not a valid
date.

Hi

From the error it seems that strDate is not a valid string date, where it's
coming from ? and how it looks like?

Cheers,

Here is code that works. As you can see, you can put the date string in
various formats:

String strDate = "05/01/1990";
string val = DateTime.Parse(strDate).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
MessageBox.Show(val);

strDate = "05-01-1990";
val = DateTime.Parse(strDate).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
MessageBox.Show(val);

strDate = "1990-05-01";
val = DateTime.Parse(strDate).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
MessageBox.Show(val);

strDate = "05-01-1990 12:30 PM";
val = DateTime.Parse(strDate).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
MessageBox.Show(val);
