c# - Why do I get "variable referenced from scope but not defined" error when using ServiceStack OrmLite? -

i have sql server table employee column entrydate defined datetime.

i have following poco:

public class employee {     public int id {get; set;}     public datetime entrydate {get; set;}     ... }

when query table using:

db.select<employee>(e => e.entrydate >= new datetime(2014, 8, 15));

or:

db.select<employee>(q => q.where(e => e.entrydate >= new datetime(2014, 8, 15)));

i expect, however when try run:

db.select<employee>(e => e.entrydate.date >= new datetime(2014, 8, 15).date));

or:

db.select<employee>(q => q.where(e => e.entrydate.date >= new datetime(2014, 8, 15).date));

i get:

variable 'e' of type 'employee' referenced scope '', not defined

just confirm, writing raw sql works fine.

any ideas?
