How to resolve this error:

C#

'object' does not contain a definition for 'ToShortDateString' and no extension method 'ToShortDateString' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

try this
string input = Convert.ToString(ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Timesheetdate"]);
DateTime d;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(input, "dd-MM-yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out d))
{
// use d
}
