System.FormatException: 'String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.'

You could use:

DateTime Mid_Night = DateTime.Today.AddHours(23).AddMinutes(59).AddSeconds(59);

Select allOpen in new window

That said, Midnight is 00:00:00, so you will be 1 second off.

That's valid  where is the date portion?

It parses for me without issue:

using System;

namespace EE_Q29116282
{
	class Program
	{
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			var value = "23:59:59";
			var midnight = DateTime.Parse(value);
			Console.WriteLine(midnight);
			Console.ReadLine();
		}
	}
}

Select allOpen in new window

Which produces the following output -That being said, it could potentially be your culture settings.  You could try forcing a culture setting; e.g. -

using System;
using System.Globalization;

namespace EE_Q29116282
{
	class Program
	{
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			var value = "23:59:59";
			var midnight = DateTime.Parse(value, new CultureInfo("en-US"));
			Console.WriteLine(midnight);
			Console.ReadLine();
		}
	}
}

Select allOpen in new window

Which would produce the same output above.

Hi,

DateTime Mid_Night = DateTime.Today.AddHours(23).AddMinutes(59).AddSeconds(59);   // i do get the same error

I am doing comparison between (DateTime.Now < Mid_Night), is that need date in Mid_Night, even though when i try above code still induce error as per attach.

Also Works for me
 DateTime Mid_Night = DateTime.Today.AddHours(23).AddMinutes(59).AddSeconds(59);
            radTextBox1.Text = Mid_Night.ToString();

   public partial class RadForm1 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm
    {
        public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DateTime Mid_Night = DateTime.Today.AddHours(23).AddMinutes(59).AddSeconds(59);
            radTextBox1.Text = Mid_Night.ToString();
            if (DateTime.Now < Mid_Night)
            {
                radTextBox2.Text="Time is Less Than Midnight";
            }
            else {
                radTextBox2.Text = "Time is Greater Than Midnight";
            }
        }
    }

Saige is right. That code line cannot fail. Your error is raised form elsewhere.

Hi Rama,

Your error is being generated at the line: 756, Please set up a debug point there and post the values (you can check the values,by selecting the variable and pressing CTRL + ALT + Q) of the following:

1. Moring_end_hours[3]
2. Moring_start_hours[3]

I believe, either both or one of them is having an invalid value.

Happy bug hunting,
Chinmay.

Hi Experts, Thank you for the feedback. Actually the error begin in different line. I did debug line by line and manage to resolve. Do appreciate most for given support.
