[SOLVED] MVC2 - Exclude date and time column from Update method

MVC2 - Exclude date and time column from Update method

I am tring update a record and want to exclude one column from the update, i have this field that is populated with GetDate() as a default value in sql, so when the update takes place i want this field to be left as it is,

 [ScaffoldColumn(false)]

    [Column] public DateTime RegisteredDate { get; set; }

Ive tried using both ScaffoldColumnFalse from dataannotaions and HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false) but when i try to save the changes an error is thrown

 sqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM.

From what i understand this is thrown due to a null value being passed to the RegisterdDate field,

Ive also tried using bind Exclude in the ActionResult stub to no avail

 public ActionResult Edit([Bind(Exclude = "RegisteredDate")] Customer customer)

Anyone any ideas on where I am going wrong here?

Kind Regards

Liam

Solution

Have a look at Steve Sandersons blog, Partial Validation in ASP.NET MVC 2. His approach is to validate only incoming values from the view. This may work in your case.
