WebService.asmx and date fields

I am trying to develop a web version of database management app(with record Add/Retrieve/Edit functions).
I allocate a new record using the following:
NewRecord newRecord = new NewRecord();

I copy window data field values into the newly-allocated record using a statement like the following:
newRecord.Initiator = rdr["Initiator"].ToString();

What is the correct syntax for copying datetime and boolean values into this same newly-allocated record before including the new record via a statement like the following?
recordList.Add(record);

.you would be better off asking on a forum that deals with what looks like .net?
