{01/01/0001 00:00:00} being passed as default date and time, MVC 2

Whenever i try to update an object that has a registered date field, this value is being passed in the model

  {01/01/0001 00:00:00}

It happens even when i add

  <%: Html.EditorFor(model => model.RegisteredDate) %>

into the view, even though the registered date is displayed in the editor like 

 18/03/2011 00:00:00

The other value is being passed and throwing the following error 

 SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

The date you gave - 18/03/2011 - looks to be in the format day/month/year, which is invalid. The default format for DateTime is month/day/year (MM/dd/yyyy). .Net is trying to parse 18 as a month, which obviously is wrong, hence the error and the default datetime value of 01/01/0001 00:00:00 being used.
