DateTime issue in SQL Server

Question

I'm trying to do an INSERT into an already set DB in MS SQL Server, the DB server is in a shared hosting (godaddy).

And what i'm trying to achieve is to store an article into the database, but everytime i publish or get a preview of the article the server throws me

I have a Datetime type field in the shared hosting which should take the date of the article, btw it doesn't throws me this error on other article tables. Just on this one, maybe a typo or something?

This is my code (The code which throws the error):

public partial class CrearServicio : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    string tpCont = "1";
    int estatus = 1;
    bool withResponse = true;

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            TextBox1.Attributes.Add("onKeyDown", "textCounter(this, 'counter1', 500)");
            TextBox1.Attributes.Add("onKeyUp", "textCounter(this, 'counter1', 500)");

            datetime.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss");

            if (Request.QueryString["tpCont"] != null)
            {
                tpCont = Request.QueryString["tpCont"];
                volver.HRef = "elegir.aspx?tpCont=" + tpCont;
                volver1.HRef = "elegir.aspx?tpCont=" + tpCont;
            }

            ConexionServiciosDataContext db = new ConexionServiciosDataContext();

            tpContinpt.Text = tpCont;

            int role = kernel.getUserRole(User.Identity.Name);

            int tipoUsuario = role;

            if (tipoUsuario == 1 || tipoUsuario == 2)
            {
                mainButton.Visible = true;
                saveButton.Visible = true;
                displayButton.Visible = true;
            }
        }
    }

    protected void SaveDBAndDisplay(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        withResponse = false;

        SaveDB(sender, e);
    }

    protected void SaveDB(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        estatus = 2;

        InsertDB(sender, e);
    }

    protected void InsertDB(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        tpCont = tpContinpt.Text;

        if (TextArea1.Text.Length > 0)
        {
            ConexionServiciosDataContext db = new ConexionServiciosDataContext();

            Servicios columna = new Servicios();
            columna.Título = TextBox1.Text.ToString();
            string line = TransformarString(TextArea1.Text.ToString());
            columna.Contenido = line.ToString();

            string[] IDsTitlesLocations = { };

            db.Servicios.InsertOnSubmit(columna);
            db.SubmitChanges();
        }
}
}

Excuse me if i write too much but i'm just stuck on this, maybe i should set the datetime format on the server?

Anyone could shed some light on this?

Answer 1

I would assume that Servicios has DateTime property which is not being set.

DateTimes are not nullable, and when they're not set, they default to {1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM}.

Upon calling db.SubmitChanges(), you're attempting to insert a value into a DateTime column which is a lower value that SQL SERVER supports as seen in your exception.
