Solution 1

check your system time format

for example :
my system time format is 20/Dec/2013 that means dd/MMM/yyyy

C#

DateTime dtime = DateTime.Parse(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString());
                   string Sdtime = dtime.ToString("dd/MMM/yyyy");

and when insert date into table you convert the string to datetime format

Note

table column field must have "date" datatype
