5. when ever u will try to exis table which contain date in 00:00:0000 format then u will get exception like 'unable to convet mysqldatetime type to system datetime type' so to overcome this type of problem either make that datatime field in table as allow null or write the following in connection string "Allow Zero Datetime=true"
