Storing TimeSpan with Entity Framework Codefirst - SqlDbType.Time overflow

Question

I\'m trying to seed some constants into my DB:

context.Stages.AddOrUpdate(s => s.Name,
                                   new Stage()
                                


        

Answer 1

In this line:

Span = new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0)

You're using this constructor:

public TimeSpan(int days, int hours, int minutes, int seconds);

So you're actually creating a TimeSpan greater than 24 hours since you're passing 1 to the days parameter, while your underlying Database type is Time which only accepts values between 00:00-23:59.

Hard to tell whether you actually meant to have a TimeSpan with 1 day, or it's just a typo.

If you really want a TimeSpan greater than 24 hours, i guess you'll have to map your field to another Database type (like SmallDateTime).

If it's just a typo error, just change your line to:

Span = new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0),
