Question

I have Subscribers table in the DB which cantains DateCreate field that has default value GetDate().
When I try to add new record to the table via Entity Framework:

        Subscribers subs = new Subscribers();
        subs.Email = email;
        subs.DateCreate = DateTime.Now;
        DataBase.DBContext.AddToSubscribers(subs);
        DataBase.DBContext.SaveChanges();

it throws an exception:
SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM.

Who can help me?
Thanks.

1. Make sure your machine clock is not in 15th century 😉
2. Recreate your model.
3. It your table has default value you don’t have to set it in code.
4. Consider using GETUTCDATE() instead of GETDATE()
5. Make sure there are no other DateTime fields without default values.
