Re: 'String was not recognized as a valid DateTime

Error occured when openDate query string is not in the date format
(mm/dd/yyyy).

Please use try, catch between your code lines.
And check whether the _opendate variable is null before using it.

private DateTime _opendate;


try
{
_opendate = DateTime.Parse(Request.Form["openDate"]);
}
catch(FormatException ex)
{
_opendate = null;
}

if(_opendate!=null)
{
//Do what ever you want
}
