I'd like to help, but I'm having difficulty understanding what you are
trying to say. Can you post a snippet of your code that shows the problem
you are having?

Thanks,

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you're asking how to set
a DateTime to null, the answer is, you can't, it's a value type.

However, you can use a nullable version of DateTime (if you are using
the latest C# version).

Something like this:

//-----------------------------------------
private DateTime? MyTime()
{
DateTime? now = DateTime.Now;
if ( now.Value.TimeOfDay == new TimeSpan( 0, 0, 0 ) )
now = null;
return now;
}
//-----------------------------------------

By the way, DateTime? is just a syntactic shortcut for:
Nullable<DateTime>

I hope I answered the right question.

Another possibility is to use DateTime.MaxValue or DateTime.MinValue.
These are guaranteed to be greather than, or less than, respectively
than any actual datetime value. You could use these as a kind of pseudo
null value. AND it's of type DateTime, of course.

Well, they're guaranteed to be greater than or less than any *other*
actual DateTime value - but they're valid DateTime values in
themselves.

Quit picking nits. You know what I mean. Show me "MinValue" on a clock.

I could show you January 1st 1AD on a calendar just as easily as I
could show you January 2nd 1AD.

Just beceause you won't see it called MinValue doesn't mean that
they're not "actual" DateTime values.

Ok, ok. We're violently agreeing here. I quote my previous post:
" AND it's of type DateTime, of course."
