Simple way to compare Dates in DateTime attribute using Entity Framework 4 and Linq queries

Question

I\'m trying to run the following bit of code, but the comparison fails by not handing my the entities I expect it to.

It\'s comparing 06/09/2011 0:00:00

You can also use EntityFunctions.TruncateTime() under the namespace System.Data.Objects

Ex.

db.Orders.Where(i => EntityFunctions.TruncateTime(i.OrderFinishDate) == EntityFunctions.TruncateTime(dtBillDate) && i.Status == "B")

Works like charm.
