ASP.NET

i want to send date from my web page in dd/mm/yyyy format for that i write this:

protected void Calendar1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       TextBox2.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
   }

My question is When i select a date as 23/1/1984 from my asp.net calendar control(don't want to use ajax control) and in my BL(business logic) i create a property as

public DateTime DOB
       {
           get { return _DOB; }
           set { _DOB = value; }
       }

i created a method Insert() and write:

parameters[1] = new SqlParameter("@DOB", SqlDbType.DateTime) { Value = DOB };

in code behind file i make a object of BL as (

BL obj = new BL();

)
i on button click assign value to DOB as that i hv enterd in textbox as

Quote:

obj.DOB = DateTime.Parse(TextBox2.Text);

but on execution when say i enter 23/12/1988 and click submit button following error appears ::

Quote:

String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

What is wrong in this why it is occuring?
