Error "Implicit conversion from data type sql_variant to datetime is not allowed" occurred while inserting data to database using dapper

Question

I have a repository class with a method

using Dapper;
public int Execute(string query, object arguments)
    {
        return Connection.Execute(query,arguments);
    }

In another program, I try to run an insert query.

dbOps.Execute(qry, new
                            {
                                transType = unp.TransType,
                                itemCode = unp.ItemCode,
                                itemQty = unp.ItemQty,
                                itemUM = unp.UnitMeasure,
                                itemSite = unp.ItemSite,
                                itemLoc1 = unp.ItemLocation1,
                                itemLoc2 = unp.ItemLocation2,
                                transRmk = unp.TransRmks,
                                transEffDate = unp.TransEffDate, //is DateTime
                                transDate = unp.TransDate, //is DateTime
                                cimStatus = unp.CimStatus,
                                cimBatchNo = unp.CimBatchNo,
                                transID = unp.TransID,
                                cimLoadDate = unp.CimLoadDate
                            });

unp Class:

internal class unp
    {
        public string TransType { get; set; }
        public string ItemCode { get; set; }
        public decimal ItemQty { get; set; }
        public string UnitMeasure { get; set; }
        public string ItemSite { get; set; }
        public string ItemLocation1 { get; set; }
        public string ItemLocation2 { get; set; }
        public string TransRmks { get; set; }
        public DateTime TransEffDate { get; set; }
        public DateTime TransDate { get; set; }
        public byte CimStatus { get; set; }
        public string CimBatchNo { get; set; }
        public string TransID { get; set; }
        public object CimLoadDate { get; set; }

        public string SourceFile { get; set; }
        public string JournalId { get; set; }
    }

Query String:

string qry = @"INSERT INTO [Transaction]
                                 VALUES(@transType,@itemCode,@itemQty,@itemUM,@itemSite,@itemLoc1,@itemLoc2,@transRmk,
                                 @transEffDate,@transDate,@cimStatus,@cimBatchNo,@transID,@cimLoadDate)"

Im getting an exception:

Implicit conversion from data type sql_variant to datetime is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.

Any Ideas I can resolve this? or Do I have to impose Dapper to multiple projects?

Answer 1

Try this .

change type of CimLoadDate from object type to DateTime. because it is dateTime in your database

public Datetime CimLoadDate { get; set; }
