Input string was not in correct format

I recently moved an asp.net project from win server 2003 \ IIS 6 \ Framework
2.0 to Win server 2008 \ IIS 7 \ Framework 3.5.

Now the following line of code returns an error “Input string was not in a
correct format”
Dim TimeLeft As Date =
objPlayer.DateExpires.Subtract(TimeSpan.Parse(Now( ).ToLongTimeString))
Any idea why this is now broken?

Why are you mixing datetime and timespan objects? You should just be using
something like this:

dim TimeLeft as TimeSpan
TimeLeft = objPlayer.DateExpires.Subtract(DateTime.Now)

I'm sorry, but I cannot answer why the code you provided worked before,
other than say I'm surprised it did.
