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

Convert the existing DateTime object to a string with single quotes around it. I don't think it really matters what format it is, as long as it is valid.

Something like this:

string data = "'" + date.ToString() = "'";

Optionally you can create a new format and pass it as a parameter to data.ToString(format);
