Question

I can’t seem to convert a sqldatatime.minvalue to a datetime object.

I tried:

Datetime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(SqlDateTime.MinValue);

That obviously didn’t work.

Answer 1

Any reason not to just use the explicit conversion operator?

DateTime dt = (DateTime) SqlDateTime.MinValue;

That works for me:

using System;
using System.Data.SqlTypes;

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        DateTime dt = (DateTime) SqlDateTime.MinValue;
        Console.WriteLine(dt);
    }
}
