DateFormat parses a date value (not a date and time). It uses
US date formats. So "12/2/2007" will be considered December 2nd,
not February 12th. Also, is your time using a 12-hour or 24-hour
clock? It its a 12-hour clock sql server might assume AM, unless
you included a time marker (ie AM or PM).

Convert() provides more control, but I don't know if
dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss is one of the supported styles. An alternative
is to use CF to parse the strings into a valid datetime object
first, instead of passing a string to sql server and letting it do
the parsing.
