You are getting that error because "dfs" is not the correct format for a datetime.

Please give some more information. how does the table dk look like (column specification)? What are typical values for Textbox1 and Textbox2?

Solution 1

You can read more about Convert.ToDateTime from here[^].

Probably it's not a valid datetime format what you are using in the following line of code:

C#

string dfs = "26-06-1986";

Try this for example:

C#

string dfs = "26/06/1986";

Solution 2

Here's your date, if you can't make it out of the dashes and into the default date patterns:

C#

string dfs = "26-06-1986";
DateTime dd = new DateTime(Convert.ToInt32(dfs.Substring(6)), Convert.ToInt32(dfs.Substring(3, 2)), Convert.ToInt32(dfs.Substring(0, 2)));
