I have a calendar in an aspx page, if the user doesn’t select a date it puts 0001/01/01 into the database. How can I specify another date, like put today’s date instead if no date is chosen?

There are couple of ways. If it is the Calendar control, you can programatically set the selected date on Page_Load to Today’s date. That way even if the user doesn’t select a date, you get the default selected date.
Second option would be, before inserting to the database – you can check if the selected date is <=DateTime.MinDate, and set current date in the object.
