Stored procedure: column or parameter error

[riaz.hasani]

Hi every1, I'm getting this error.
I've checked my db (SQL Server) & that's the type I'm using.
In the db the column's data type is "smalldatetime".
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Would you post your SqlCommand code? You just go straight into the binding.

Do you have something like:

myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@Date", SqlDbType.SmallDateTime, 8 ).Value =
"1/1/2001"

You can not specify a size when using SmallDateTime.

If you don't have this, you will need to post some more of your code.
