So don't do that.

Most likely, it's either a problem with user input being completely invalid, or in the wrong format for SQL. And the normal reason for that is that your presentation code isn't validating user input either at all or correctly, and is passing it through by concatenating strings to form an SQL command. This is dangerous, as it leaves you wide open to SQL Injection Attacks which could damage or destroy your database.

So convert the date to a DateTime value in your C# or VB code, and pass that as part of a parametrised query. That should fix both problems.
