           Summary: SqlCommand with DateTime parameter throws exception
                    "Error converting data type varchar to datetime"
                    (impacts NHibernate and Castle ActiveRecord)
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.4.x
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Sys.Data.SqlClient
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com

An absolutely trivial class connecting remotely to either MSSQL 2000 on Windows
2000 or MSSQL 2005 on Windows 2003 contains the following statements. The code
is run locally either on a Windows XP machine or a Mac OSX 10.5.6 machine.

This works:

            cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO TestModel (Name, Date) VALUES
('ADO', '01/04/2009 00:01')", connection);


This fails:

            cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO TestModel (Name, Date) VALUES
(@p1, @p2)", connection);
            cmd.Parameters.Add("@p1", SqlDbType.VarChar);
            cmd.Parameters["@p1"].Value = "ADOp";
            cmd.Parameters.Add("@p2", SqlDbType.DateTime);
            cmd.Parameters["@p2"].Value = DateTime.Parse("01/04/2009 00:05");
            Console.WriteLine(cmd.CommandText);
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();


The above example makes sole use of Mono provided classes, but as NHibernate
makes heavy use of parametrized queries, it prevents anything NHibernate-based
(like Castle ActiveRecord) to do anything useful with Mono as soon as dates are
involved.

Please note that:
- SQL2000 language is set to French
- SQL2005 language is set to English
- Both server OSs and software are french versions.
- Mac OS X cient is set to en_GB locale
- Windows client is french
- the given dates surely can be ambiguous depending on various locale settings
but should be at least misinterpreted as either 01/04/2009 or 04/01/2009 and
safely converted.
- setting Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture to a new Culture("fr-FR") en-US
or en-GB does not change a thing
- manipulating DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern does not change anything either


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1a. use the above code in a trivial class connectiong to a database
or
1b. use NHibernate with a DateTime field
or
1c. use Castle ActiveRecord with a DateTime property
2. execute query involving DateTime field, like SQL INSERT or NH
session.save(model) or AR model.create()
3. observe exception being raised
Actual Results:  
Exception raised.

Expected Results:  
Query execution.
