Question

I have a DataTable whose data is being fed into a Class:

MyProperty = myDataRow.GetFieldValue("MyPropertyColumn", DataUtils.NullDateTime);

Property MyProperty is a Nullable DateTime and the value of the column is:

'2010-09-27 00:00:00.000'   AS 'MyPropertyColumn',

When the debugger steps over the first line of code above, MyProperty is null when I expect it to be set to the DateTime from the DataTable. Is there any reason why this date isn’t being parsed correctly?

Answer 1

The column value needs to be passed in as a DateTime and not a string, thus:

CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-09-27 00:00:00.000') AS 'MyPropertyColumn',
