The conversion of a datetime2 data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value

Question

I have the following code in my HomeController:

public ActionResult Edit(int id)
{
    var ArticleToEdit = (from m in _db.ArticleSet where m.storyId == id se         


        

Answer 1

I got this error after I changed my model (code first) as follows:

public DateTime? DateCreated

to

public DateTime DateCreated

Present rows with null-value in DateCreated caused this error. So I had to use SQL UPDATE Statement manually for initializing the field with a standard value.

Another solution could be a specifying of the default value for the filed.
