使用SQL Server 2005 Datetime作为实体框架的日期

Question

We're working with Entity Framework 4 but we're being told the database to use is SQL Server 2005 even though we seem to have licenses for 2008R2. Notably, SQL Server 2005 seems to be missing a 'date' type, which has been requested in the requirements.

For the purposes of keeping the rest of the application the same in case we move to SQL Server 2008R2 later, is there some way to semi-automatically treat a datetime type as a date in the rest of the application via Entity Framework 4?

Answer 1

I use SQL SERVER 2008R2 and date type. It is easly mapped to DateTime in Entity Framework 4. So there will be no problem in any case.
