can you make it clear is it web application or desktop
so if its web and you mean to run application 2nd time(may be you are doing somthing with Page.IsPostBack).
some more information needed.

Without the relevant code fragment - at the very least the line that shows the error plus a few lines each side fro context, maybe the whole method - we cannot help you.

Looks like you have not initialized your date string variable. Add a valid initialization, and the error may disappear.
