insert datetime value in sql database with c#

Question

How do I insert a datetime value into a SQL database table where the type of the column is datetime?

Answer 1

you can send your DateTime value into SQL as a String with its special format. this format is "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"

Example: CurrentTime is a variable as datetime Type in SQL. And dt is a DateTime variable in .Net.

DateTime dt=DateTime.Now;
string sql = "insert into Users (CurrentTime) values (‘{0}’)";

sql = string.Format(sql, dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss") );
