I just tried your code using a DB I had to hand:

C#

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=GRIFFPC\SqlExpress;Initial Catalog=VideoMaster;Integrated Security=True");
con.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Videos", con);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
DateTime dat = (DateTime)dt.Compute("MAX(InsertDate)", null);
DateTime dat2 = Convert.ToDateTime(dt.Compute("MAX(InsertDate)", null));

Both dates were correct and valid. So, what am I doing that is different from you?

To read minimum value from your database use MAX() function in query than read it using Command to DataSet or DataTable object.
