Entity framework error: The conversion of a datetime2 data type to a datetime data

Question

I know there are a ton of posts about this issue but none of them seem to solve my problem.

Here\'s the scenario:

I have a CreateDate Date

Answer 1

Have you tried setting the StoreGeneratedPattern attribute to 'Computed'. Failing that, as a last resort, try changing the column's datatype to datetime2.

[The problem arises because the .NET DateTime.MinValue equals 0001-1-1 but Sql Server DateTime covers 1753-1-1 through 9999-12-31]
