Question

I’m trying to insert selected date from calender in asp.net to Microsoft SQL database.

When I select time like 01/04/2012 its work, but when trying to insert 30/01/2012 I’m getting the message:

The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in
an out-of-range datetime value.

When I create the datetime object by using closeDateCalender.SelectedDate,
the code in c# is :

sb.AppendFormat("Values('{0}', '{1}' ,'{2}', '{3}','{4}','{5}','{6}','{7}')",
    opportunity.UserId, 
    opportunity.AccountId, 
    opportunity.OpportunityName, 
    opportunity.CloseDate, 
    opportunity.Stage, 
    opportunity.Probability, 
    opportunity.Amount, 
    opportunity.Description);
String prefix = "INSERT INTO Opportunities " + "([User_Id],Account_Id,Opportunity_Name,Close_Date,Stage,Probabilty,Amount,[Description])";
        command = prefix + sb.ToString();

any idea how to solve it???

Answer 1

Your server is set to accept dates in American format rather than European. If you reformat the date so that it’s in the format yyyy-MM-dd it will work.

Try this:

sb.AppendFormat("Values('{0}', '{1}' ,'{2}', '{3}','{4}','{5}','{6}','{7}')",
  opportunity.UserId, 
  opportunity.AccountId, 
  opportunity.OpportunityName, 
  opportunity.CloseDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"), 
  opportunity.Stage, 
  opportunity.Probability, 
  opportunity.Amount, 
  opportunity.Description);
