DateTime temp = DateTime.Parse(Date);
//DateTime temp = DateTime.Parse(dt.);
DateTime dtstart = Convert.ToDateTime(txtDate.Text.Trim());// this line Error
DateTime dtEnd = Convert.ToDateTime(BadateAmtreceived.SelectedDateFormatted.ToString());
TimeSpan Days = dtstart.Subtract(dtEnd);
DateDiff = Days.Days;

0	Which line has a problem? Can you debug and find out ? Looks like either you are not giving correct date format in the txtDate.Text or BadateAmtreceived dropdown/listbox. You will need to ensure that both places has correct date values (default mm/dd/yyyy) format.

0	Always validate from server side too. You can have a function like as follows to check the date format. public static bool IsDate(string strDate) { DateTime outDate; return DateTime.TryParse(strDate, out outDate); } Mark this as answer, if it is.....
