Failed to convert parameter value from a SqlParameter to a DateTime.

[mikejacobz]

Hi, I am using the Enterprise Application Blocks (Data Access
Application Block 2005) and all I want to do is pass in a date as a
parameter to a Stored procedure.

e.g

[Begin C# code]

private void testMe(DateTime startDate)
{
// Create a database object
Database db =
DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase("ConnectionString");

// Get back a DataReader
IDataReader _reader = db.ExecuteReader("spMyStoredProcedure",
new SqlParameter("@queryDate", startDate));

}
[End code]

Where @queryDate is a parameter of type DateTime in my Stored
Procedure.

When I try to run the above code I get the following error

"Failed to convert parameter value from a SqlParameter to a DateTime."

?? Any help greatly appreciated
Regards
Mike

Hi,

Use this code:

Sql SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter("@queryDate", SqlDbType.DateTime)
param.Value = startDate;
IDataReader _reader = db.ExecuteReader("spMyStoredProcedure", param);
