First of all, don't store time data as varchar. You faced the case when the string is not a valid date/time, or in unexpected format...

Debug the code and see what is happening. The error says you are trying to put something into a datetime field that is out of the valid range.

It may be possible when your sequence to insertion in table Messages in not correct order. Please specify the Messages table column names sequentially.

I think it is time for you to stop guessing what your code is doing. It is time to see your code executing and ensuring that it does what you expect.

The debugger is your friend. It will show you what your code is really doing.
Follow the execution step by step, inspect variables and you will see that there is a point where it stop doing what you expect.

Your problem i_s data dependent, but didn't provide the data.
The debugger will allow you to see what is the value you try to convert to DateTime. This is the first step to solution.
Once you tell us this value, we will be able to figure out what is wrong.

Solution 2

The problem is here

C#

date = DateTime.Now.ToString();

for debugging purpose change this line to this

date = '01-Jan-2016';

and re-execute the code, you will see that it gets successfully executed and a row has been added in the message table.

Now its your task to understand what is the difference between the previous and new changes :)
