Error itself is self explanatory. If you can see, you are doing something like:
abc.ToString(xyz.Replace())
This is WRONG and not allowed. Please correct this part.

Solution 2

Look at the return type of Eval[^]. It returns an object. Object does not have any other overloads of ToString other than the one that takes no arguments.

You'll need to cast your object to DateTime before being able to access the correct method.
