public static DateTime ConvertDateTime(string Date)
    {
        DateTime date=new DateTime();                        
        try

            string CurrentPattern = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern;                
            string[] Split = new string[] {"-","/",@"\","."};
            string[] Patternvalue = CurrentPattern.Split(Split,StringSplitOptions.None);
            string[] DateSplit = Date.Split(Split,StringSplitOptions.None);
            string NewDate = "";
            if (Patternvalue[0].ToLower().Contains("d") == true && Patternvalue[1].ToLower().Contains("m")==true && Patternvalue[2].ToLower().Contains("y")==true)
            {
                NewDate = DateSplit[1] + "/" + DateSplit[0] + "/" + DateSplit[2];
            }
            else if (Patternvalue[0].ToLower().Contains("m") == true && Patternvalue[1].ToLower().Contains("d")==true && Patternvalue[2].ToLower().Contains("y")==true)
            {
                NewDate = DateSplit[0] + "/" + DateSplit[1] + "/" + DateSplit[2];
