default(DateTime) causes ArgumentOutOfRangeException

[bnoffer]

When working with DateTime and setting values to its default value using default(DateTime) this results in a ArgumentOutOfRangeException. Here is the stack trace:

From what I could see it is caused by the conversion to UNIX timestamp. I currently do not have the time to investigate, but at the point where the DateTime field is converted to UNIX Timestamp there should be a check if the field value matches default(DateTime).

Quick update:
Insert operations succeeded despite those exceptions being thrown.

Can you post your test case ?

Here is basically what happened:

Database db = new Database("myPool");
....
DateTime dateOfBirth = default(DateTime);
....
ODocument doc = new ODocument();
doc.SetField<DateTime>("DateOfBirth", dateOfBirth);
...
ODocument result = db.Insert(doc);

To get past the issue I changed the code as follows:

Database db = new Database("myPool");
....
DateTime dateOfBirth = default(DateTime);
....
ODocument doc = new ODocument();
If ((dateOfBirth == null) || (dateOfBrith == default(DateTime)))
   dateOfBirth = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
doc.SetField<DateTime>("DateOfBirth", dateOfBirth);
...
ODocument result = db.Insert(doc);

I used the following code to test on two of my device(win,mac(mono)), the document is successfully created. I can not use your code to test because there is no Database class, and insert a document throws an error with finding class name.

using (var database = Settings.GetDatabase())
{
    DateTime dateOfBirth = default(DateTime);
    database
        .Create
        .Vertex<OVertex>()
        .Set("date", dateOfBirth)
        .Run();
}

and

using (var database = Settings.GetDatabase())
{
    DateTime dateOfBirth = default(DateTime);
    var doc = new OVertex();
    doc.SetField("Date", dateOfBirth);
    var doc1 = database.Create.Document<OVertex>(doc).Run();
}

I was using the document model, not the graph model. That might be the difference. Although I did not check this for quite some time. I'll revisit this.

OrientDB has issue with date's < 1582-10-14
Because of using standard Java datetime classes this different handled by .NET.
I still looking how to tackle such problem :(
