Hi Voluong and thanks for your report.

Now, it would be nice if you have attached full test case so I don't have to guess... Since there is none, I'd say problem is in that you have not defined the way c/NET will deal with dates outside .NET specs. Please see c/NET documentation on "Allow Zero Datetime" connection parameter.
