'datetime2' error when using entity framework in VS 2010 .net 4.0

Question

Getting this error:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException : The conversion of a datetime2 data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range v

Answer 1

Another possible solution is to set the sql column type of the field to datetime2. this can be done using fluentapi.

Property(x => x.TheDateTimeField)
   .HasColumnType("datetime2");

Note: This is a solution for sql server 2008 upwards as datetime2 is not available for sql server 2005 or below.
