After spent a lot of hours on Google search  I found the below solution as when I locally give date time  no exception while from other server  there was Error          Date is not in proper format   Before saving  searching Text box date time in C   just checking either the outer Serer Culture is same like database server culture   Ex both should be  en-US  or must be both  en-GB  asp below snap shot     Even with different date format like  dd mm yyyy  or  yyyy mm dd   it will save or search accurately
