How to fix the datetime2 out-of-range conversion error using DbContext and SetInitializer?

I'm using the DbContext and Code First APIs introduced with Entity Framework 4.1. The data model uses basic data types such as `string` and `DateTime`. The only data annotation I'm using in some cases is `[Required]`, but that's not on any of the `DateTime` properties. Example: ``` public virtual DateTime Start { get; set; } ``` The DbContext subclass is also simple and looks like: ``` public class EventsContext : DbContext { public DbSet<Event> Events { get; set; } protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder) { modelBuilder.Entity<Event>().ToTable("Events"); } } ``` The initializer sets dates in the model to sensible values in either this year or next year. However when I run the initializer, I get this error at `context.SaveChanges()`: The conversion of a datetime2 data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value. The statement has been terminated. I don't understand why this is happening at all because everything is so simple. I'm also not sure how to fix it since there is no edmx file to edit. Any ideas?
