SqlDateTime overflow

I am using ADO.Net to insert a record into a table. One of the fields is receiving the value from Now() (i.e. the current datetime). However, when I call the update method of the dataadapter I get the following error:

Sqldatetime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00AM and 12/31/1999 11:59:59PM.

Why would this happen? I checked the settings on the server and it is set to interpret 2 digit dates between 1950 and 2049 so I know that's not the problem. What could be causing this? I've NEVER seen this happen before.

Please help!!! :confused:

It sounds like you are using a SQL SmallDate field. Drop the small or try using a Date type in the app instead of DateTime.

I am using the standard datetime SQL datatype in (not smalldate) and I am sending it a Date value (I'm using the Now() function which is a Date datatype in VB.NET). Any other thoughts/ideas?

Wierd, what value is Now returning? Or better yet post your update code.

I just ran the code and Now() is returning 11/20/2003 6:52:49 PM. Here is my update code:

If drTicket.RowState = DataRowState.Detached Then dsTicketHdr.TicketHdr.Rows.Add(drTicket)

daTicketHdr.Update(dsTicketHdr.TicketHdr)
drTicket.AcceptChanges()
dsTicketHdr.TicketHdr.AcceptChanges()

Hope this helps

Very Strange so I am assuming that the property assignment goes as follows:

VB Code:

drTicket("MyDateField")=Date.Now

If you haven't had problems in the past, and I never have either than its got to be something small that is being overlooked.

Close - since this is a predefined datatable, it looks like this:

drTicket.DateAdded = DateTime.Parse(Now())

I've also tried:

drTicket.DateAdded = Now()
drTicket.DateAdded = CDate(Format(Now(), "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss"))

None of these work either.

I doubt this is it but you shouldn't need to parse it since Now returns a date. Try:

drTicket.DateAdded = Date.Now() 'or DateTime.Now() both return a date

Yeah - I tried that too. No luck.

Try this:

drTicket.DateAdded = Date.Now.Today()

Do you HAVE to have the time in there too?

I do have to have the time although I did try to using the Today property as well and that didn't work either.

*bump*

Anyone have any more thoughts on this? i am really stuck.
