My preference is SQL Server 'Unseperated' format for datetime literals

'yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss.mmm'

because its not dependent upon any weird enviroment settings, but you can also use ISO 8601, here is a link I always find useful...

Silly idea; use the DateTime type.

Hey,
Before storing date convert your date using following code

IFormatProvider provider = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-CA", true);
string strDate = DateTime.Parse(txtDate.Text.Trim(), provider, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.NoCurrentDateDefault).Date.ToString();
it works
Best Luck

Always store dates as DateTime values. You only ever need to format it when you need to display it on an output device.
