Solution 2

Quote:
customerLoanRecord.CreatedOn = DateTime.Now.Date;

This should be:

customerLoanRecord.CreatedOn = DateTime.Now;

(Assuming customerLoanRecord.CreatedOn type is DateTime)

Solution 3

Declare CreatedOn as a property and then check.

C#

private DateTime _CreatedOn = new DateTime();
public DateTime CreatedOn
{
     get
     {
         _CreatedOn = DateTime.Now;
         return _CreatedOn;
     }
     set
     {
         _CreatedOn = value;
     }
}

My test:
Program prg = new Program();
prg.CreatedOn = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine(prg.CreatedOn.ToString());
The output:
29/01/2014 12.36.49

i tried your solution but i am getting the message.
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.

Solution 1

Take off the word "Date":

C#

customerLoanRecord.CreatedOn = DateTime.Now;

The Date property of a DateTime object removes all time information!

Thanks for tour quick response.
But if i use customerLoanRecord.CreatedOn = DateTime.Now;
i am getting the value null.What shou;d i do?

Thanks HArshal

DateTime.Now can't return a null - (if only because if it did your previous code would crash, instead of showing just the Date part).
So you need to show us the definition of your CreatedOn property.

Damned fast-typing-man, have my 5.

I knew that typing course would come in handy one day! :laugh:

Put a breakpoint on the line, and run your code 'til it hits.
Then look at the variables by "hovering" the mouse over each of them in turn to find out exactly which one is null - then tell us and we will go from there!
