Error says, conversion is happening in opposite way.
You are trying to convert from String to Date.

If your date is in string format 11-Jan-2020 (as per your screenshot) - trying to convert to DateTime, follow as shown below.

strDate = "11-Jan-2020"
DateTime dateObj = DateTime.ParseExact(strDate,"dd-MMM-yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

If the input date format in dd-MMM-yyyy
Result Assign in string variable → DateTime.ParseExact(your DateTime variable, “dd-MMM-yyyy”, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).Tostring(“MMM/dd/yyyy”)
If the input date format in MMM/dd/yyyy
Result Assign in string variable → DateTime.ParseExact(your DateTime variable, “MMM/dd/yyyy”, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).Tostring(“MMM/dd/yyyy”)
