You should save the value as a DateTime type and then insert it into your database. Also do not use string concatenation in SQL; use proper parameterised queries.

Use parametrized query as ziad and Mekalamani suggest. But add additional check to see if the date is set before you send it to the database.

NEVER concatenate user input directly into SQL. Google "SQL Injection" to find out why.

Try this

SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand("insert into Test values(@DtValue, con);
com.Parameters.AddWithValue("DtValue",dateTimePicker1.Value.Date);
