Answer 1

之所以会出现此错误，是因为数据网格单元中的值（至少其中一个）不是有效的日期和时间，并且无法以这种方式进行格式化。

Answer 2

Have you tryed something like this :

private void dgvfrm_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.ColumnIndex != yourFormattigColumnIndex || e.Value == null)  //Added the null check
        return;

    dgvfrm.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].Value = ((DateTime)e.Value).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
}

I think this should work (might have some typo/syntax but the idea is there)
