Hello Sarfaraj,

According the error message above.

[FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.]

at System.DateTimeParse.Parse(String s, DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi, DateTimeStyles styles)

"String was not recognized as a valid DateTime".

It seems that one of the field string that reflects the data and time is not in the correct format as this is failing when the function (System.DateTimeParse.Parse(String s, DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi, DateTimeStyles styles) is called.

I would suggest if we are changing or updating the Date Time value, then verify and confirm if we have entered the DataTime field in correct format.

Other way :

Try applying date and time functions on that variable. I mean try converting the value in the variable to a date and time.

Remember CRM converts between UTC (on the database) and local time (adjusting for DST) for display on forms. When looking at the value of dates while debugging your code you need to know whether you are looking at a UTC or local DateTime to know whether it is 'correct'. You can find out by looking at the DateTime.Kind property.

For more help.

I hope this helps.

Thank You !
