No, i want to check if the specific date is already in the DB, if not - then i'll insert the row.

I wrote it with LINQ, not with ADO.NET

So? I see StartDate and EndTime. Is that what you intend? :)

Yes, i made a mistake at the column name when i created the DB, it's not the point here. :)

I guess there's a mistake in the formulation of your Linq query. This should be :

var query = from p in dc.OnLineDuties
where p.StartDate == start && p.EndTime == end
select p;

In your DB you have StartDate and EndDate. Where is p.EndTime coming from? What is end? Is it a string, a datetime? ??

Sure. Here are the two rows from my DB:

DutyId PersonId StartDate EndTime
124 37 2010-11-01 09:00:00 2010-11-01 10:00:00
152 37 2010-09-01 19:00:00 2010-09-01 22:00:00

and still, this query dosen't return any results.

Can some-one please help me why my query doesn't works? var query = from p in dc.OnLineDuties where p.StartDate == start p.EndTime == end select p; Here are the two rows from my DB: DutyId PersonId StartDate EndTime 124 37 2010-11-01 09:00:00 2010-11-01 10:00:00 152 37 2010-09-01 19:00:00 2010-09-01 22:00:00

To expand on something Mark Nischalke asked some time ago to which you never replied, what is start, what is end? Are they string's, are they datetime's, what are there values at runtime?

the user inserts the value trough text box and i parse it to a DateTime type. at the end the become dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss formt. The colums ype is also DateTime. 10x

[Rhys Gravell]

But what are the values of start and end at runtime? Can you debug and check?

The values are: StartDate - 2010-11-01 09:00:00 EndTime - 2010-11-01 10:00:00 same like in the DB
