the error:-

"String was not recognized as a valid DateTime"

<asp:Label runat="server" width="40%" text='
<%#
DateTime.Parse( DataBinder.Eval (Container,"Dat aItem.dt").ToSt ring()).ToSh
ortDateString() %>' id="Label6">

Well folks...
I added:-
culture="en-US"
to the globalization in Web.Config and did the trick

<globalizatio n
requestEncoding ="utf-8"
responseEncodin g="utf-8"
culture="en-US"
/>

Hi Patrick,

If you just use DataBinder.Eval (Container,"Dat aItem.dt").ToSt ring() is
anything displayed?

If it is, I would be checking that the date format matches your Regional
Settings (System Account). If you are using SQL I’d also be checking that
the collation of the new server/database is the same as your old one.

Why don't you just do this instead:

<%# ((DateTime)Data Binder.Eval(Con tainer.DataItem , "dt")).ToShortD ateString()
%>

I know this is a very common issue but cannot find a thread that resolves the issue. I need to re-format my dates to "MMM d, yyyy". The problem I have is I have an MSSQL database that allows <NULLS>. I'm using this code to format the dates: <%# IIF((dsCase.FieldValue("inj_beg", Container) <> nothing),DateTime.Parse(dsCase.FieldValue("inj_beg", Container)).ToString("MMM d, yyyy"), "") %>
