Convert.ToDateTime OR DateTime.ParseExact(string, Format, null)

Question

i have a problem that i am saving the value in database DatetimePicker.Value.Day(which returns Int); now i am getting this value on another form on

label.Text = DataGridViewName.Rows[0].Cells["ColumnName"] +"-"+System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");

now i want to compare the value of label.Text with current date ... so i have to convert the label.text into datetime

DateTime DueDate = DateTime.ParseExact(Label.Text, "dd-MM-yyyy",null);

OR

Convert.ToDatetime(label.text);

but both conversion gives me error of String is not Valid and geirgian calender ERROR i cannot understand what to do

You can convert it by DateTime DueDate = DateTime.ParseExact(Label.Text, "dd-MM-yyyy",CultureInfo.InvarientCulture); — Shashank, Jan 29 '14 at 06:33

string s = lblDueDate.Text;
                    DateTime DueDate = DateTime.ParseExact(s, "MM-dd-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None);

Here lblDueDate.Text has Date which i have stored from database and then i have convert lblDueDate.Text in DateTime for comparing this Date from Current Date
