SqlBulkCopy - The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type money of the specified target column

Question

I\'m getting this exception when trying to do an SqlBulkCopy from a DataTable.

Error Message: The given value of type String from the data source cannot be c         


        

Answer 1

For the people stumbling across this question and getting a similar error message in regards to an nvarchar instead of money:

The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type nvarchar of the specified target column.

This could be caused by a too-short column.

For example, if your column is defined as nvarchar(20) and you have a 40 character string, you may get this error.
