On another note, I installed the MSN Messenger V7 release last night and quite impressed. I am always amazed at how quickly software like this populates the PCs of people I know....almost like a virus. Anyways, Last night's coding efforts were accompanied by watching the personal messages aside my contact's names and seeing just how bad their taste in music is - Messenger can be configured to populate your personal message with the details of your currently playing song...

The Video and Audio quality is awsome aswell... Tried it last night talking to my cousin in Sydney and was v. impressed.

Help! -- MS Enterprise Library DAAB - Object must implement IConvertible

I am having real problems with the above error (which after searching on google seems to have been inherited from the old DAAB) when calling db.UpdateDataSet.

I am attempting to update a SQL database from a dataset with 8 or tables in them... under a transaction.

-----

Update:

This fault caught me several times and it transpires that it actually WAS down to an illegal casttyping....
I use NullableTypes and was passing a NullableDateTime directly where what I should have been doing was something like Convert.ToDateTime(MyDateOfBirthAsNullableDateTime.toString()).

So there you go!
