I have a column like this in 1 of my database tables

DateCreated, datetime, default(GetDate()), not null

I am trying to use the Entity Framework to do an insert on this table like this...

        PlaygroundEntities context = new PlaygroundEntities();

        Person p = new Person
        {
            Status = PersonStatus.Alive,
            BirthDate = new DateTime(1982,3,18),
            Name = "Joe Smith"
        };

        context.AddToPeople(p);
        context.SaveChanges();

When i run this code i get the following error

The conversion of a datetime2 data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.\r\nThe statement has been terminated.

So i tried setting the StoreGeneratedPattern to computed... same thing, then identity... same thing. Any ideas?
