You should use TryParse to see if it's possible to parse users input.

C#

string datestring = "01/01/0001";
DateTime date;
if (DateTime.TryParse(datestring, out date))
{
    // Date parsed ok. All good.
}
else
{
    // Could not parse datestring or the date is out of range. 
    // Tell the user to try other input
}

Its not problem of your query. i want to tell you that it is by DB.
The date range allowed in Sql

January 1, 1753, through December 31, 9999

and if you using datatype as smalldatetime then

January 1, 1900 through June 6, 2079

Put date within this your query will run.

The OP didn't mention using a database at all - he refers to "Date field is entered "

In the title - "The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value"

That is the error message received when a default parameter is used along with the AddWithValue method with a string value of "01/01/0001" and the destination field is datetime.

Hi uday

string date = "01/01/0001";
DateTime now = Convert.ToDateTime(date);
