Question

I am trying to compare a date to a datetime field in SQL. I try this:

Dim entry = db.Tbl_Hydrations.Where(Function(x) x.Hyd_Create_Date.Date = _date1)

However, the error I get is:

The specified type member 'Date' is not supported in LINQ to Entities. Only initializers, entity members, and entity navigation properties are supported.

On line:

If entry.Any Then

Seems like LINQ to Entities doesn’t support the Date property. You could try doing a comparison between two dates as a workaround:

Dim nextDay As DateTime =  _date1.AddDays(1)

Dim entry = db.Tbl_Hydrations.Where(Function(x) x.Hyd_Create_Date >= _date1 AndAlso x.Hyd_Create_Date < nextDay)
