            <title>[CSHARP-4609] InvalidCastException with LinqProvider V3 when passing string as DateTime</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CSHARP-4609</link>
                <project id="10041" key="CSHARP">C# Driver</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;when adding filter like this&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;tt&gt;Builders&amp;lt;MeasurementDetails&amp;gt;.Filter.Lt(field, myValue);&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
where &lt;tt&gt;field&lt;/tt&gt; is &lt;tt&gt;Expression&amp;lt;Func&amp;lt;MyObjectType, object&amp;gt;&amp;gt; field = x =&amp;gt; x.CreationDate&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
and &lt;tt&gt;CreationDate&lt;/tt&gt; property type is &lt;tt&gt;DateTime&lt;/tt&gt;, but &lt;tt&gt;myValue&lt;/tt&gt; is &lt;tt&gt;string&lt;/tt&gt; (because we filter dynamically depending on user request)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LinqProvider V2 works fine, but V3 version throws exception&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So it seems on this line in &lt;tt&gt;DowncastingSerializer&lt;/tt&gt; it throws exception because it simply tries to cast &lt;tt&gt;string&lt;/tt&gt; to &lt;tt&gt;DateTime&lt;/tt&gt;. Not sure if that is intended behavior in new Linq version or a bug?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LINQ3 assumes that you are comparing apples to apples. We were not expecting anyone to compare a `DateTime` to a `string`.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The best/cleanest work around would be to change your code to compare apples to apples (`DateTime` to `DateTime` in this case).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are evaluating whether we should change LINQ3 to also support this somewhat unusual and surprising behavior from LINQ2.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="5339828" author="james.kovacs" created="Tue, 11 Apr 2023 23:21:01 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;We have a field expression of type &lt;tt&gt;object&lt;/tt&gt; where the underlying type is &lt;tt&gt;DateTime&lt;/tt&gt; or any value type.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In &lt;tt&gt;LinqProviderAdapterV2.cs&lt;/tt&gt;, we have the following code in &lt;tt&gt;TranslateExpressionToField&lt;/tt&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p/&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;syntaxplugin&quot; class=&quot;syntaxplugin&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px dashed #bbb; border-radius: 5px !important; overflow: auto; max-height: 30em;&quot;&gt;
&lt;table cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4em !important; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; color: black;&quot;&gt;
		&lt;tbody &gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;
						&lt;td  style=&quot; line-height: 1.4em !important; padding: 0em; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
					&lt;pre style=&quot;font-size: 1em; margin: 0 10px;  margin-top: 10px;   width: auto; padding: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &apos;Consolas&apos;, &apos;Bitstream Vera Sans Mono&apos;, &apos;Courier New&apos;, Courier, monospace !important;&quot;&gt;var underlyingSerializer = field.Serializer;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;
						&lt;td  style=&quot; line-height: 1.4em !important; padding: 0em; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
					&lt;pre style=&quot;font-size: 1em; margin: 0 10px;   width: auto; padding: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &apos;Consolas&apos;, &apos;Bitstream Vera Sans Mono&apos;, &apos;Courier New&apos;, Courier, monospace !important;&quot;&gt;var fieldSerializer = underlyingSerializer as IBsonSerializer&amp;lt;TField&amp;gt;;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;
						&lt;td  style=&quot; line-height: 1.4em !important; padding: 0em; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
					&lt;pre style=&quot;font-size: 1em; margin: 0 10px;   margin-bottom: 10px;  width: auto; padding: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &apos;Consolas&apos;, &apos;Bitstream Vera Sans Mono&apos;, &apos;Courier New&apos;, Courier, monospace !important;&quot;&gt;var valueSerializer = (IBsonSerializer&amp;lt;TField&amp;gt;)FieldValueSerializerHelper.GetSerializerForValueType(underlyingSerializer, serializerRegistry, typeof(TField), allowScalarValueForArrayField);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
			&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The underlying serializer is a &lt;tt&gt;DateTimeSerializer&lt;/tt&gt;, which is not an &lt;tt&gt;IBsonSerializer&amp;lt;object&amp;gt;&lt;/tt&gt;. Thus &lt;tt&gt;fieldSerializer&lt;/tt&gt; is null and the resulting &lt;tt&gt;valueSerializer&lt;/tt&gt; is &lt;tt&gt;FieldValueSerializerHelper.ConvertIfPossibleSerializer&amp;lt;object, DateTime&amp;gt;&lt;/tt&gt;. This serializer attempts to convert from a string to a &lt;tt&gt;DateTime&lt;/tt&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In LINQ3, we introduced the &lt;tt&gt;DowncastingSerializer&lt;/tt&gt;, which resolves &lt;a href=&quot;https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CSHARP-4499&quot; title=&quot;Support Convert calls to a base type in filter translators&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;CSHARP-4499&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;CSHARP-4499&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This allowed derived instances to be treated as their base type. &lt;tt&gt;LinqProviderAdapterV3.cs&lt;/tt&gt; has identical code as above (though how the &lt;tt&gt;field&lt;/tt&gt; is created differs). Unfortunately &lt;tt&gt;DowncastingSerializer&amp;lt;object, DateTime&amp;gt;&lt;/tt&gt; does in fact implement &lt;tt&gt;IBsonSerializer&amp;lt;object&amp;gt;&lt;/tt&gt; and thus the third line simply returns the &lt;tt&gt;DowncastingSerializer&amp;lt;object, DateTime&amp;gt;&lt;/tt&gt;. When called, it simply tries to cast the incoming object as a &lt;tt&gt;Datetime&lt;/tt&gt; and a string is not a &lt;tt&gt;Datetime&lt;/tt&gt; thus failing. If the second line had returned null, then the third line would have created a &lt;tt&gt;FieldValueSerializerHelper.ConvertIfPossibleSerializer&amp;lt;object, DateTime&amp;gt;&lt;/tt&gt; just as with LINQ2 and an attempt is made to parse the &lt;tt&gt;DateTime&lt;/tt&gt; from the string.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One solution is for &lt;tt&gt;ConvertExpressionToFilterFieldTranslator&lt;/tt&gt; to detect a convert from a value type to object and simply return the existing field definition. Then the &lt;tt&gt;fieldSerializer&lt;/tt&gt; is null as before and the correct &lt;tt&gt;FieldValueSerializerHelper.ConvertIfPossibleSerializer&amp;lt;object, DateTime&amp;gt;&lt;/tt&gt; is created on the third line. Not the most elegant solution, but it replicates the code flow for value types prior to the introduction of &lt;tt&gt;DowncastingSerializer&lt;/tt&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The following is a repro of the issue:&lt;/p&gt;
