DECLARE @datefrom DateTime
SET @datefrom = '30/11/2013 00:00:00'



SELECT [events].datefrom, [events].*
FROM [events]
WHERE [events].live > 0 AND [events].deleted < 1
AND (@datefrom <= datefrom OR @datefrom is null OR @datefrom = '')

WHEN running this in SQL, this flashes a list of the events with the date filter then reports:

The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.

(852 row(s) affected).

I'm confused, I don't know what is going on?
I got the '30/11/2013 00:00:00' from .net datetime SQL parameter type

Use:
SET @datefrom = convert(datetime,'2013-11-30 00:00:00',120)

or:
SET @datefrom = cast('2013-11-30 00:00:00' as datetime)

SET @datefrom = '2013-11-30'

Better to use ISO format for DATE..

DECLARE @datefrom DateTime
SET @datefrom = '20131130' -- YYYYMMDD
SELECT @datefrom
what is the datatype of column datefrom ?
If VARCHAR, first convert datefrom to datetime in the WHERE clause
