Unable to convert MySQL date/time value to System.DateTime

Question

I am using ibatis and C#. i get a result from a select query that has CreatedDate as one of the field. The Datatype of CreatedDate in Mysql is Date. I assign the result set

Answer 1

This issue happened to me when a date column in my table had been set to 0 rather than null - there was a bug in my code that.

Looking at the table I could see that the field had been set to a date of 000-00-00 - once I had reset the offending field to null the issue went away.
