dim miastringa as string ="2018/02/12"
LblScadenza.Text = DateTime.Date(ConvertSQLDate(miastringa)

Sub ConvertSQLDateIta(s As String) As Long
    DateTime.DateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"
   Dim ticks As Long = DateTime.DateParse(s)
    DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"

     Return ticks
End Sub

The error:

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=10; regionStart=11; regionLength=10

is because you're trying to get a substring from position 11 in a string that is only 10 chars long. If the value in the MaskedEditText is "21/12/2018" that is 10 chars, so not sure why you're doing a SubString starting at char 11...
