@Tammy1998
give a try on DateTime.ParseExact(“05/01/2020”,“dd/MM/yyyy”, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).toString(“d/MM/yyyy”)

it is assumed that 05 is the day otherwise flip it in the format string
Ensure System.Globalization is imported

@Tammy1998
you got this error because of your fromdate variable is of datatype DateTime
But the statement is returning a string:

you can resolve it by following:
DateTime.ParseExact(“05/01/2020”,“dd/MM/yyyy”, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
parse the string into a datetime

Once you do need this other format (e.g. DataEntry) then use fromdate.toString(“d/MM/yyyy”)

DateTime will have its internal format and this is to keep as it is
