hi all,

i'm not 100% sure about sql server but i think it doesn't accept null value for date type columns but in oracle, a date column can accept a null value.

and since i'm using oracle, this is causing some problems because in my form, a textbox item bound to a date column will not accept a null value.

reading thru some threads, it would seem that it is not possible to pass a null value to a date type in .Net.

but i came across a thread (i can't seem to put the URL here).

i did try to use the approach where

Code:
Dim _NullData As Nullable(Of DateTime) = Nothing
but when saving the value to the database, i see 01/01/01 on the column in it. still not saving null value to my database but it seemed to save a default value.

i'd appreciate any help.

thanks
