Error in setting value for DateTime type custom field

I get the following error while update the contact.
        Error:      '2006-09-06' is not a valid value for the type xsd:dateTime
 
This is happening when we set the value for DateTime type custom field. I am setting value as
                    sContact.RECEIPT_STATE_DATE_02__cSpecified = true;
                    sContact.RECEIPT_STATE_DATE_02__c = DateTime.Now;
 
 
Based on one of the replies from this forum I tried the following but gives compilation error.
                    sContact.RECEIPT_STATE_DATE_02__cSpecified = true;
                    sContact.RECEIPT_STATE_DATE_02__c = (System.DateTime)DateTime.Now.ToString("s", System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo);
I am using MS VS 2005. Please let me know how to resove this error.

I use the following DateTime formats with Partner WSDL when setting XML nodes:

For the Salesforce date type:

xmlNode.InnerText = tmpDate.ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");


For the Salesforce datetime type:

xmlNode.InnerText = tmpDate.ToUniversalTime().ToString("s");

Hope this helps.

Thanks. But please note that you are setting directly to xml node, it is a string type. For me I need to set the property of type DateTime in Contact object.
So I cannot use the above code.
FYI, my field defn looks like this
 
<element name="RECEIPT_STATE_DATE_02__c" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:dateTime" />
 
and  I am trying to set value for this Contact object (using c#.NET) propery as follows 
 
sContact.RECEIPT_STATE_DATE_02__c = DateTime.now;
 
Type of property is DateTime, still I get error when updating Contact.

Was the RECEIPT_STATE_DATE_02__c type recently changed from datetime to date in Salesforce but the code not recompiled to an updated WSDL?

What happens when you regenerate your WSDL at
https://na1.salesforce.com/soap/wsdl.jsp?type=*
and rebuild?

Hi,

   The type has not been changed. It is xsd:datetime only.

   <element name="RECEIPT_STATE_DATE_01__c" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:dateTime" />

   Please let me know if you aware of some other way to set this value using C#.NET 2.0

Thanks,

Jegatheesan.

I've seen this error message before and the cause was a date/datetime type mismatch between the WSDL and Salesforce.

Did regenerating the WSDL and rebuilding the proxy objects help?

Thanks Mike.

I have informed the support team about this issue. They are looking into it.

I will update once I get answer from them.

 

Thanks,

Jegdish.

Hi Jegadish,

Did you find a solution? I have the same exact problem.... unfortunately. From my experience, opening a ticket with salesfoce is not very helpful... I appreciate it very much if you could share your solution.

Thanks in advance,

Saritha

There are issues with date/dateTImes in .NET, although i've only seen it happen in query, the explanation of the issue i got would indicate that it could affect serialization as well (i.e. in update/create calls). There's details of a workaround and a MSFT hotfix in this post
