Improve it by the advice given in Solution 1. (I advise you to accept it formally (green button)).

By the way, thank you for not posting it as an "answer", as some do...

Solution 2

Compiler Error Message: CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'System.DateTime'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?) .
Read your Exception:

DateTime inTime = (DateTime) Session["time"];

And you should check if the Session is null.
