you cannot use DateDDL.Date because Date is not a static property
you have to create an instance of the class and then only use it
profile.Personal.DOB = Convert.ToDateTime(DateDDL.Date, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

guru_sami

What ragi0017 said above is correct.
This is my addition to it.
You have something like this in your code:

var dateObj = (DateDDL)sender;
DateTime dateValue = dateObj.Date;

so what you can do is define a public variable or property in your .aspx code behind. then set this value as you are doing in the above two lines.
Than you can assign that value to profile.Personal.DOB.

So e.g. declare DateTime dateValue outside to make it publicly avaialble within the class uxRegister. Assign it the value from your DDL and use it anywhere in the class.

Guru, I have this : I declared it private in the behind code.

namespace OmegaLove.Web.UI
{
public partial class uxRegister : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
// For generating random numbers.
private readonly Random random = new Random();
private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(uxRegister));
private String iUserID;
private DateTime dateValue;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtUserName.Focus();
String UserID = Session["UserID"] != null ? Session["UserID"].ToString() : "";

if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
BindDropDownList();
cddCountryRegister.SelectedValue = "CA";
dateValue.Date = ?
imgFlagRegister.ImageUrl = "~/images/flags/" + cddCountryRegister.SelectedValue + ".gif";
// Create a random code and store it in the Session object.
Session["CaptchaImageText"] = GenerateRandomCode();
}
}

Is this what u meant?
Please check this.

Anurag Thakur

you are getting error at the following line
profile.Personal.DOB = Convert.ToDateTime(DateDDL.Date, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

because you are trying to access an instance property Date directly from the class and its not an issue if you use
dateObj = new DateDDL();
dateValue.Date = ?
