The conversion of a datetime2 data type to a datetime data type Error

Question

I have a controller:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(Auction auction)
{
    var db = new EbuyDataContext();
    db.Auctions.Add(auction);
    db.SaveCh         


        

Answer 1

I had a default getdate() value on DateCreated in the DB. I wasn't setting the value in EF because I didn't think I needed to. Once I passed in the value through EF on the insert then the error went away. Why is that error there in the first place? I never figured that out.
