It throws System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

DateTime.ParseExact Converts the specified string representation of a date and time to its DateTime equivalent.

        DateTime dt= DateTime.ParseExact("28.12.2022 13:45:04", "dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss",
                                   System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

        Console.WriteLine(dt);

yourDateTime.Value.ToShortDateString();

Localization about your computer setting. It can be change type of your date format. You can use;

DateTime dt= DateTime.ParseExact("datetimeString", "dd/MM/yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
