Determining whether DataTime structure is initialized

[Dan]

How does one do this?

Dan,

You can't, it is always initialized with a value (the default value
being all the bits zeroed out). If you want to determine whether or not
there is a lack of value, for now, you will have to use the SQLDateTime
structure, which has a property that exposes whether or not it is null.

This will become more generic in the future, with the use of the generic
type Nullable<T>, which you would then supply the DateTime type as the type
parameter.

Generics will be available in .NET 2.0.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

It will always has a value. Now I dont remember if it's DateTime.MinValue,
but I'm pretty much sure it's.

Cheers,
