DateTime van .NET naar smalldatetime in SQL - hoe query's te doen?

Ik heb het geprobeerd met SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.

Hier is de voorbeeld opgeslagen procedure die ik schreef:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[ShowGivenSmallDateTimeValue] 
    @givenSmallDateTime smalldatetime
AS
BEGIN
    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
    -- interfering with SELECT statements.
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    -- Simply return the given small date time value back to sender.
    SELECT @givenSmallDateTime
END

En hier is de C#-code om de procedure uit te voeren:

var connectionBuilder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder();
connectionBuilder.DataSource = "localhost\\sqlexpress";
connectionBuilder.IntegratedSecurity = true;

var now = DateTime.UtcNow;

using (var connection = new SqlConnection(connectionBuilder.ConnectionString))
using (var command = new SqlCommand())
{
    command.Connection = connection;
    command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
    command.CommandText = "ShowGivenSmallDateTimeValue";
    command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@givenSmallDateTime", SqlDbType.SmallDateTime) { Value = now });

    connection.Open();
    var result = (DateTime)command.ExecuteScalar();
    var difference = result - now;

    Console.WriteLine("Due to the smalldatetime roundings we have a difference of " + difference + ".");
}

En het werkt gewoon.
