Problem With Storing Datetime Values In Formview

Hello all,
I'm kind of new to ASP.NET and I've hit my first unsolvable roadblock. I'm trying to create a formview insertcommand that allows me to place the current date into a DateTime field but I continuously get  an Input string was not in a correct format error. I may be using the wrong functions, I'm unsure. I've messed with DateTime.Now.ToString() as well as GETDATE() but I have no idea how to get it to work. I've also tried to switch the variable type of the field to a String type as well as DateTime.

I am running visual basic .net with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Here is my code right now:

   Experiencing problems with technology? Just fill out the form below and your problem will be forwarded to the Information Technology department.</em></strong><br />
        <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:TechticketdbConnectionString %>"
                
            SelectCommand="SELECT [CRDL#] AS column1, [Employee ID] AS Employee_ID, [Problem description] AS Problem_description, [Date submitted] AS Date_submitted, [Ticket number] AS Ticket_number FROM [Tickets]" DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [Tickets] WHERE [Ticket number] = @Ticket_number" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [Tickets] ([CRDL#], [Employee ID], [Problem description], [Date submitted]) VALUES (@column1, @Employee_ID, @Problem_description, GETDATE() )" UpdateCommand="UPDATE [Tickets] SET [CRDL#] = @column1, [Employee ID] = @Employee_ID, [Problem description] = @Problem_description, [Date submitted] = @Date_submitted WHERE [Ticket number] = @Ticket_number">
            <DeleteParameters>
                <asp:Parameter Name="Ticket_number" Type="Int32" />
            </DeleteParameters>
            <UpdateParameters>

                <asp:Parameter Name="Date_submitted" Type="String" />
            </InsertParameters>
        </asp:SqlDataSource>
   
I've left out the EditItemTemplate because it isn't going to be used for this form. Here is the InsertItemTemplate:
     <InsertItemTemplate>
                column1:
                <asp:TextBox ID="column1TextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("column1") %>'>
                </asp:TextBox><br />
                Employee_ID:
                <asp:TextBox ID="Employee_IDTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Employee_ID") %>'>
                </asp:TextBox><br />
                Problem_description:
                <asp:TextBox ID="Problem_descriptionTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Problem_description") %>'>
                </asp:TextBox><br />
               
                <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="True" CommandName="Insert"
                    Text="Insert">
                </asp:LinkButton>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertCancelButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Cancel"
                    Text="Cancel">
                </asp:LinkButton>
            </InsertItemTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                column1:
                <asp:Label ID="column1Label" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("column1") %>'></asp:Label><br />
                Employee_ID:
                <asp:Label ID="Employee_IDLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Employee_ID") %>'>
                </asp:Label><br />
                Problem_description:
                <asp:Label ID="Problem_descriptionLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Problem_description") %>'>
                </asp:Label><br />
                Date_submitted:
                <asp:Label ID="Date_submittedLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Date_submitted") %>'>
                </asp:Label><br />
                Ticket_number:
                <asp:Label ID="Ticket_numberLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Ticket_number") %>'>
                </asp:Label><br />
                <asp:LinkButton ID="EditButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Edit"
                    Text="Edit">
                </asp:LinkButton>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="DeleteButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Delete"
                    Text="Delete">
                </asp:LinkButton>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="NewButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="New"
                    Text="New">
                </asp:LinkButton>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:FormView>
 
I would like to get the value formatted as a DateTime but a String will do just fine if a DateTime variable won't work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
