if you are passing datetime to sql database try with yourdatetime.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd") format this will work for you.

and one more thing you can add a datetime format for your Applicaton culture. so this will treat you datetime format at you desire.

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Threading;

namespace test {
    public static class Program {
        public static void Main() {
            CultureInfo culture = (CultureInfo)CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Clone();
            culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss";
            culture.DateTimeFormat.LongTimePattern = "";
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;
            Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);
        }
    }
}
