How to convert “dd/mm/yyyy” to “yyyy-mm-dd” format.
I’ve tried it like this:

 DateTime dtInputDate = DateTime.Parse(txtDate.Text); //txtDate.Text = "19/07/2012"
 string strOutputDateFormat = "YYYY-MM-DD";
 dtInputDate.ToString(strOutputDateFormat);
 txtDate.Text = dtInputDate.ToShortDateString();

but got an error:
String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

    You may use Parse Exact, and specify the format, as "d/M/yyyy"

     string strDate = "19/07/2012";
 DateTime dtInputDate = DateTime.ParseExact(strDate, "d/M/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); //txtDate.Text = 
 string strOutputDateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd";
 Console.Write(dtInputDate.ToString(strOutputDateFormat));
 strDate = dtInputDate.ToString(strOutputDateFormat);

    Edit: Here replace strDate with txtDate.Text for your code
