Error:

string or binary data would be truncated,Statement is terminating

Answer 1

Your problem is not with the date.
Its with the string data being too large for a column(probably a varchar), that you are trying to insert the data into.

I would check the length of your Comment and txt.Text and see that the data can be inserted.

Use a sql type datetime for your DateTime. Storing dates in a text column is inviting a lot of trouble.

• It takes more storage space.
• Searching through that data will be really difficult.
• You will never be able to change timezones.
