Answer 1

The following should work and is my recommendation (parameterized query):

DateTime dateTimeVariable = //some DateTime value, e.g. DateTime.Now;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO <table> (<column>) VALUES (@value)", connection);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@value", dateTimeVariable);

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
