Never amazes me how I always get a nice little Error Message at the end of my work day.

I have gotten my tables added to the ORM and understand how it all works.

Today I built the Data and Business Classes for them. In one of my tables I have 5 DateTime fields. When I run the app I get an error that states:

for each DateTime field.

I then went and compared my AETransfersEO to the PTORequestEO from the Framework which has an additional DateTime field in the form of RequestDate. The override from both files are identical. I would post my code but it takes 75 arguments and would be really long.

If anyone knows what I missed I would appreciate it. I just get stuck on the error code until I understand what it is telling me. To me it says that it cannot take the Property (@reqDate of type DateTime) and implicitly(understood type) convert it to DateTime. I do not understand what the explicit(direct) conversion is or where it exists. Im sure with time I will figure it out, but I like to share my experience with others so they may learn too.

Thanks

System.DateTime? means it is a nullable data type. I assume your fields allow nulls so the ORM creates the entity object with properties as nullable types and the parameters to the stored procedure are declared to the same way. Make sure you declare the variables in the business classes as nullable also.

Ok, that makes sense now. I was thinking System.DataTime? reference the @FieldName parameter, but it means it is nullable. Does this only relate to the DataTime field or are there other DataTypes that can generate this?
Good thing is that I will recognize it in the future.

Thanks

Nullable types are supported for other intrinsic types as well such as int, byte, double, etc.
