i just want to pass date and time to a database column. but it only delivers date part of the Datetime variable.Does anyone have any suggestions.

C#

String procedureName;
CommandType cmdType;
List<sqlparameter> parameters = new List<sqlparameter>();

//setting procedure properties
procedureName = "EX_Updater";
cmdType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@curCode", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10));
parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@curExRate", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10));
parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@updatedOn", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10));
parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@updatedBy", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10));

string date = DateTime.Now.ToString();

//Inserting data through stored procedure
parameters[0].Value = CountryCode.Replace("'", "''");
parameters[1].Value = ExchangeRate.Replace("'", "''");
parameters[2].Value = DateTime.Now;
parameters[3].Value = U_id;


//pass to common procedure
Boolean status = SQLTrans.executeProcedure(procedureName, cmdType, parameters);
//This will only pass "DATE" part value to the database and not passing Time value to the database.

In database updatedOn is declared as "datetime ".i can assure that parameter will be getting date and time values.but whenit comes to DB it only stores datepart. i also tried by giving a manual string("4/20/2012 2:51:52 PM")to that parameter value.but it also did not saved in the database.But i can manually insert records to the DB.

The reason could be that the updatedOn parameter is defined as

C#

parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@updatedOn", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10));

where the length is 10. But the Date with Time together is more than 10 chars long
Note: This could be a possibility, I have not verified.

Secondly, the SqlDbType is taken as VarChar whereas DateTime may be more appropriate as given here

Further, the SqlParameterCollection.AddWithValue Method is better instead of adding a parameter and then assigning a value, as explained here
