| FormatException | value is not a valid date and time value. |
| InvalidCastException |
For the conversion to succeed, the runtime type of the value parameter must be either a DateTime or a String, or value must be null. Otherwise, the method throws an InvalidCastException. In addition, if value is a string, it must contain a valid representation of a date and time value in the current culture or a FormatException is thrown.
The return value is the result of invoking the IConvertible::ToDateTime method of the underlying type of value.
