    I don't think you would set a DateTime to string.empty.

    Of course you can't. But I don't know how they are working with the actual data and displaying it. I am starting to regret posting an answer to his question. :sigh:

      That's not what I would call a reasonable practice. I prefer my DateTimes to be valid in some way (and use new DateTime(0) to accomplish that).

          It is a possible and valid scenario, whether you John, agree with it or not. Just saying... For instance, shipping dates - they are usually null until something actually ships.

              Yes. Yes, I do. If I wasn't always an assh*le, I would disappoint my legions of fans. Besides, me being an assh*le is really the only constant in life any more that absolutely EVERYBODY can count on. Beyond that, I was just poking you in the ribs. If you're honestly butt-hurt, I can call a waaa-mbulance for you. :) BTW, I'm the one that voted your original answer a 5.

                We can argue the validity of nulls all day. I don't like 'em, and I strive to resolve them in some way.

                  One would use a "shipped event", in that case. One could drop and smash the shipment .... One does not carry a null "damaged date" in anticipation.

                      I would not use Convert.ToDateTime with a text/string input. Instead try using TryParse with datetime. DateTime.TryParse Method (String, DateTime) (System)[^]
