The message is clear: you either have a string not representing a valid date (e.g. "foo") or the string itself does not represent a valid date in the 'thread current culture' (see the MSDN page: "DateTime.Parse Method"[^]).
Youd should debug your code for finding out the exact nature of the problem.
