  • 0

I have realized that a smalldatetime sql server data type has been mapped to a datetime in my entity project. Fine with me. When the entity is saving changes it actually uses a datetime2 data type (which currently our production database doesn’t support). Now, that’s a problem.

Looking at the entity designer code i see the property is using VB’s date object although the properties window displays it as a datetime.

I would rather not change the entity code as I do not want updates from the database to overwrite my changes creating a code maintenance mess.

Where did the datetime2 come from? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Orry

    Ok folks, that fixed it.

    Because the entity was updating refs from a sql 2008 database the ProviderManifestToken is set to 2008. Opening the edmx file in the xml editor and changing the value to 2005 fixed our problem.
