Access :: Datetime Datatype Updating To Null Or Nothing?
Feb 11, 2010
Passing a null or nothing value to a datatime datatype database field (Access)
I've been all over the internet looking at this and I have tried dozens of methods without success.
I've read a few forums where, some say you can not assign a null value or a nothing value to a datetime datatype field. Then I see others where they say...'I got it to work'.
If this is true (that you can not pass a null value), how come I can create a record in the Access table and not assign a value to this date field? (The field is defined as not required).
Yet, once a value is in the field, I can not update that field back to a null or a nothing value.
So I'm hoping someone has the definitive answer to this.
I am using VB.Net Vs 2003 and updating an Access data base.
I have an update statement (see below) that uses parameters for updating.
what will work, so that I can put back the null or nothing value?
Or if it really can not be done, I guess I'll have to take that as truth.

I'm passing a model to a view, and the model contains this attribute:
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter a start date")]
[DataType(DataType.DateTime)]
[DisplayName("Start Date")]
public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
And I have this in my view:
<%: Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.StartDate) %>
When I load the page, the textbox is populated with a date: 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM
Is there a way to not have this happen, maybe by using metadata?

I'm loading data from my database into a DataTable, and one of the columns is a date field.
[Code]....
I'd like to format that column so that instead of containing a full date, it will be formatted like "MM/DD/YYYY".
I've tried looping through each row in the table and changing the cell for that column, but I get an error saying that the string isn't a valid DateTime object.
I tried changing the column DateType to a string, but I get an error saying I can't change the DateType after the table is filled.
How can I do this? This seems like such a simple thing, but I'm having so much trouble with it.

I have a problem:
I've created usual Controller and View(Edit view) for editing my Entity (EntityFramework)
Here is view example:
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.BirthDate)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.BirthDate)
</div>
BirthDate is Nullable<DateTime>
but during loading my View I get this exception
The model item passed into the dictionary is null, but this dictionary requires a non-null model item of type 'System.DateTime'.
That's because of BirthDate is null in database but it is nullable and I expect that it just leaves the filed empty.
And I have Shared EditorTemplate:
@model System.Nullable<System.DateTime>
@if (Model.HasValue)

I have setup my business object to have a create_date and edit_date members both datetime datatypes. My company want to display the create_date and edit_date fields in a gridview for each transaction. The problem i have is that after insterting a record it will have a valid create_date but no edit_date and when displayed in the gridview it defaults to datetime.minvalue (My default). How on earth do i show an empty field in my gridview for a null datetime field in the database?
I am using similar architecture to the Imar Spaanjaars example of a tiered solution. With a few small tweeks it has worked well for me for ages. I am passing a List<Database> to my object datasource which connects to my gridview.

I want to retrieve a record which stored in a SQL table as datetime type. How to detect it to see if it is not null value before assign it to a text box? Because in SQL, it displays as '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000'
For example, I want to code something like below:
dim dst as new dataset
if dst.tables(0).rows(0)("OrderDate") is not null then
txtOrderDate.text=dst.tables(0).rows(0)("OrderDate")
End if

I have 2 textboxes for BEGINNING DATE and END DATE. First I compare the dates so that the END DATE is bigger than the BEGINNING DATE. This is OK with the validators.
MY PROBLEM IS: If the END DATE´S TEXTBOX is empty, then it should insert into the SQL DB, a null value. The field has a DATETIME type.
Since my INSERT Query requires a parameter when i call the ADD METHOD, it returns that the END DATE parameter is required.

I have a class with properties for stuff like FileNumber, OpenedDate, ClosedDate etc.When I Initialise the class I set the datetime variables to Date.MinValue.Then when I populate my textboxes I check if the value of the date variables are Date.Minvalue and I set the textbox text to an empty string.
Code:
If(File.OpenedDate = Date.MinValue, String.Empty, File.OpenedDate.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd"))
However whe I try to save the data to my sql server db I get a datetime out of range error. What is the correct way to handle these null values in my date columns?

Got a nullable datetime member on my viewmodel.the moment it hit my controller action, the viewmodel's modelstate allready are invalid (because the member is null).Forgot...how that works? (using MVC2)Basically my viewmodel have a social security number, passport number and passport expiracy date.If the ssn is entered, I want to ignore the two passport related fields, so I made the expiracy date member nullable.
Like all other viewmodels in this app, each model have it's own validation function that will do validation, and in there I add an error that the date is required or not valid (if using passport number). mvc itself should not care about the date at all.I dont want to give the date a default value, because then the date will show when the form loads, and it must be an empty field (unless I already got a date of course.

I'm using MVC 2 with some Models from a LinqToSql project that I built. I see that when I post back to a Controller Action after editing a form that has a DateTime field from the Model, the MVC Html.ValidationMessageFor() helper will nicely display an error beside the Date text box. This seems to happen automatically when the you test ModelState.IsValid() in the Controller Action, as if the MVC model binding automatically knows that the DateTime field cannot be empty.
My question is... I have some other string fields in these LinqToSql generated classes that are Not-Nullable (marked as Not Nullable in Sql Server which passes thourgh to the LinqToSql generated classes), so why doesn't Mr. MVC pick up on those as well and display a "Required" message in the ValidationMessageFor() placeholders I have added for those fields?
Sure, I have successfully added the MetadataType(typeof<t>) buddy classes to cover these Non-nullable string fields, but it sure does seem redundant to add all this metadata in buddy classes when the LinqToSql generated classes already contain enough info that MVC could sniff out. It MVC validation works with DateTime automatically, why not these Not-nullable fields too?
