Are you trying to send a null to the database?
Or are you asking how to react if you receive a null from the database?

Are you sure your database "DateField" is really of a type Datetime?
It could be the database is holding that value as a string and you need to parse it.

But you can't assign a null to a datetime. It is already a null if created without giving it a value. If you want to keep it a null, don't change it.

Platform : ASP.Net/C# void SomeFunction(DateTime date) { string text = date.ToString(); //This crashes if date is null } I am using a construct similar to above. I want to check if the date is null or nor before processing it, but I am not able to figure out the syntax.

I want to set a DateTime field to Null before passing it to the DB //First I check to see if anything is in this datarow column, because sometimes we have no data. DateTime dt; if ( datarow.ToString().Length > 0) { //We assume the data is a date dt = (DateTime)datarow; }

I have a generic function that receives a couple of datetime values to work with. They can or cannot have a value, therefore I wanted to use null. This function will call a database stored procedure and must save either a null or a real date. However, passing a hardcoded "null" to call this function causes a compilation error : cx.cs(136): Argument '16': cannot convert from '<null>' to 'System.DateTime'
