System.InvalidCastException: Cast from string "11/18/2003" to type 'Date' is not valid.

Why can't I format this: CDate("11/18/2003") in asp.net
Do I have a culture set up somewhere different then un-us?

What are you trying to store this into?  If it something like this:

stringvalue = CDate("11/18/2003"), where stringvalue is a string variable, then you will get the error.

ALWAYS use dates in the UNambigous format yyyy-mm-dd which is the ODBC format.
