'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

Whatever fits in a datetime will fit in a datetime2 data type, vice versa this is not the case, you can stick a date of January 1500 in a datetime2 data type but datetime only goes back to 1753, a datetime2 column can go back all the way to the year 1. I would check what the min date that you are passing in is and if your tables have datetime2 or datetime data type columns
