We give sufficient conditions for order-bounded convex operators to be generically differentiable (Gâteaux or Fréchet). When the range space is a countably order-complete Banach lattice, these conditions are also necessary. In particular, every order-bounded convex operator from an Asplund space into such a lattice is generically Fréchet differentiable, if and only if the lattice has weakly-compact order intervals, if and only if the lattice has strongly-exposed order intervals. Applications are given which indicate how such results relate to optimization theory.
