dateTime = Null problem

Hi All,

I have an object that ahs a property of time dateTime,
this property is set to the contents of a DateTime field
in the database(SQL Server).

The problem I am haveing is that if the dataabase field
is Null and the object property is set to the contense of
that field. And I then assign the object proberty to the
value of a control the control value is set to 01/01/0001
instead of "". Any ideas on how to acheive this?

I can initialize teh value of the property to
say "1/1/1900" and test for that but is the a neater way?

And if i test for Isdate() i recieve an error.

Thanks in advance

Cheers Jake

Jake,

You might want to retrieve it from the backend as
'isnull(<databa sefieldname>,'0 1/01/1900')

Hi to all, I have functions defined in an xml-rpc server. Some functions query to a Postgres database (using adodb) and return its recordset. So, if some xml-rpc client runs the mentioned function, it will retrieve the recordset.

hi all since the DateTime can't be assign null, the min value is set to 1901 or something, if in a application design, the date field can be null, so in between the UI and the DB, the business logic has to take care of the conversion?? e.g when inserting DateTime.minvalue into db, (especially when using store precedure, it seems that pass null parameter to a store precedure cause problem.), the store procedure must translate the minvalue...
