I'm trying to use the WCF Oracle adapter to insert data in an Oracle table. The table has a DateTime field. I set the field's value in an orchestration, using a distinguished field, then send the message to a send port configured to use the WCF Oracle adapter.
This gives me the following error when the message is sent to Oracle:
Value for the field is invalid. DateTime.Kind must be DateTimeKind.Unspecified. Ensure that there is no TimeZone or TimeZoneOffset contained in the DateTime value.
I tried to use this to force the DateTimeKind to be unspecified:
msg.ProcessedDateTime = System.DateTime.SpecifyKind(
System.DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime(),
System.DateTimeKind.Unspecified);
but I still get the same error message.
I can also see that the XML generated for this message uses the following format for dates: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.ffffffZ
The problem seems to be with the Z at the end of the string, which specifies a time zone (GMT+0)
I can't simply assign to the "ProcessedDateTime" property an arbitrary string (with a format I could control), because the schema defines the field as a xs:dateTime, so an orchestration requires that I use a System.DateTime value.
How can I force the System.DateTime representation to not contain any time zone information? Note that I can't control the representation directly, since the DateTime is converted to a string by BizTalk, not by my code.
