How to set date type to null

[ddt]

Hi
I have a object which has a date type property, but if I not assign any value to it, it always display "#12:00:00 AM#" or "1/1/0001". How can I leave it as empty or null/dbnull value

Thanks in advance

Hi, ddt

as DateTime is value type, you can't use null with it. However, you can
always check if it is equal to DateTime.MinValue and act accordingly. It's
not that much difference with checking for null, right?

This is not possible. A value type can not be Null or Nothing.
