It turns out it was because the DateTime was not nullable. I changed it to allow null dates and it works fine now.
In my case a TimeSpan was initialized to 30 hours, which caused an exception when casted to t-sql! Dumb EF 5.0 RTM!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
