I am generating some test data for dates by using a random amount of ticks, but the date i put in seems to have a higher precision than the one I get back. Is this an issue with EF5 or is this something to do with the DateTime vs DateTime2 column types.

EG

Ticks from my generated time: 634074312268196992

Ticks from that time once stored/retrieved via EF: 634074312268200000

    Since you mentioned that there are two date types involved then probably the problem is because datetime has less precision then datetime2

    date           2007-05-08
smalldatetime  2007-05-08 12:35:00
datetime       2007-05-08 12:35:29.123
datetime2      2007-05-08 12:35:29. 1234567
