Hi Community,

I am running my program on .Net 4.0 and my computer is Win 8.
I have to downgrade my program from .Net 4.5 to 4.0 cuz my client's PC runs on Win XP SP3 32bit which does not support .Net 4.5

Anyway, when I run my program on my PC, the DateTime function is working well. Mainly the "LastUpdated" field. The system has no issue auto fill up the DateTime fields.

Code:
Private Sub AddNew_btn_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles AddNew_btn.Click
        POTextBox.Focus()
        ProjectsBindingSource.AddNew()

        'Set Default Text
        Job_StatusComboBox.Text = "Confirmed"
        Production_StatusComboBox.Text = "Pending"
        Date_Of_EntryDateTimePicker.Text = Date.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss")
        Last_UpdatedLabel1.Text = Date.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss")
        save_btn.BackColor = Color.DarkGray

        AddNew_btn.Enabled = False
    End Sub
However when running on WinXP, I got this error when clicking on AddNew button.
String was not recognized as a valid DateTime

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


Can anybody help me understand why the Datetime error occurs in WinXP?
