1) Make sure you have this:    

opp1.CloseDateSpecified = true;

 

2) Also try changing the project target platform to x86 instead of any CPU.

 

 

3) if your date string is coming in from an unknown source:

 

 

//val is the input date string
DateTime dtfromstr;
if (DateTime.TryParse(val, out dtfromstr))
    opp1.CloseDate = dtfromstr;
    opp1.CloseDateSpecified = true;
else
    opp1.CloseDateSpecified = false;  //or you can set DateTime.Now.Date;

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(DateTime.Now.ToString(), "YYYY-MM-DD", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

opp1.CloseDate = dt;
