Insert into database date with another format

I have a gridview and sqldatasource.

I’m trying to insert new records in database and the Date column type is Date and default format is US , mm/dd/yyyy and I’m trying to insert a date with another format.

  SqlDataSource2.InsertCommand = "Insert into test (Name,Date) VALUES (@Name,@CONVERT(Date,'@Date',104))";
        SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("Name", nameText);
        SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("Date", DbType.DateTime, date.Text);

I get: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

Thanks

Method 1

The Date type in format agnostic in the database (unless you store it as a string).

You may first try to get a valid System.DateTime object using DateTime.ParseExact or DateTime.Parse.

Then, set the SqlParameter with this value.

DateTime dateValue = DateTime.Parse(date.Text); // try to make this working first.
SqlDataSource2.InsertCommand= "Insert into test (Name,Date) VALUES (@Name,@Date)";
    SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("Name", nameText);
    SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("Date", DbType.DateTime, dateValue);

Method 2

First you should use DateTime object instead of Date.Text, First convert your text into DateTime

Second you don’t need to format date time while inserting if the data type is datatime at SQLServer table just use.

"Insert into test (Name,Date) VALUES (@Name, @Date)";

You should format date time while retrieving data in select
