I am trying to get the no. of days by subtracting 2 dates, but both these trials say - 'DataSet does not support system.Nullable<> - Using C#, Linq To Entities


public DataTable GetData()
{
    var qry = from a in MyDB.tblBranch.Where(a=>a.branchid==1)
              join e in MyDB.tblEmp on a.Eid equals e.Eid
              select new
              {
                 days = System.Data.Objects
                        .EntityFunctions.DiffDays(a.ExitDate,a.EnterDate)
                //days = System.Data.Objects.SqlClient.SqlFunctions.
                //DateDiff("dd",a.ExitDate,a.EnterDate)
              };
     DataTable dt = qry.ToDataTable();
     return dt;
}

0	DateTime oldestDate = DateTime.Now.Subtract(new TimeSpan(maxAgeInDays, 0, 0, 0, 0)); Or where (vid.CreatedDate >= EntityFunctions.AddDays(DateTime.Now, -maxAgeInDay)) Sharpcnet, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	@Bandi.. Hi. It might work if it was the only column, but I have multiple columns to retrieve in the datatable and the days would be one of them. What should I write in that case: select new { days = System.Data.Objects.EntityFunctions.DiffDays(a.ExitDate,a.EnterDate) branchid = a.branchid, entrydate = a.entrydate ?? datetime.minvalue, exitdate = a.exitdate ?? datetime.minvalue, }; Sharpcnet, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
