Writing everything in caps is called shouting. Use caps wherever necessary.

You can do the following

VB

Dim medate As New DateTime
TextBox1.Text = System.DateTime.Today.Date
       medate = DateTime.Parse(TextBox1.Text)
'or medate can have your date of format mm/dd/yyyy
    Dim q As String = "insert into mytest values('" & medate & "')"

CAN ANY1 TELL WHAT IS THE DEFAULT DATE FORMAT FOR STORAGE IN SQL SERVER 2005
SQL Server Date Time Format[^]

Always use DateTime datatype for date values and use parameterized query.
