Hi I have a
table Customer. One of the columns in
table is DateCreated. This column is NOT NULL but default values is defined for this column in db.
When I add new Customer using EF4 from my code.
var customer = new Customer();
customer.CustomerName = "Hello";
customer.Email = "
[email protected]";
// Watch out commented out.
//customer.DateCreated = DateTime.Now;
context.AddToCustomers(customer);
context.SaveChanges();
Above code generates following query.
exec sp_executesql N'insert [dbo].[Customers]([CustomerName],
[Email], [Phone], [DateCreated], [DateUpdated])
values (@0, @1, null, @2, null)
select [CustomerId]
from [dbo].[Customers]
where @@ROWCOUNT > 0 and [CustomerId] = scope_identity()
',N'@0 varchar(100),@1 varchar(100),@2 datetime2(7)
',@0='Hello',@1='
[email protected]',@2='0001-01-01 00:00:00'
And throws following error
The conversion of a datetime2 data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
The statement has been terminated.
Can you please tell me how NOT NULL columns which has default values at db level should not have values generated by EF?
DB:
DateCreated DATETIME NOT NULL
DateCreated Properties in EF:
Nullable: False
Getter/Setter: public
Type: DateTime
DefaultValue: None
Thanks.
