How To assign null values in MySql using VB.NET
date-formatting, mysql, vb.net
Solution
AppDate = Nothing should work, you could also use DateTime.MinValue and update your business logic to treat it appropriately.
Problem
I am not sure why VB makes everything such a pain. I have a fields which stores the date and time in the format required to store in MySQL database ``` Dim AppDate As String = String.Empty If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Me.AppDate.Text.Trim) Then AppDate = Format(CDate(Me.AppDate.Text), "yyyy-MM-dd h:mm:ss") Else //Need to assign a null value to AppDate End If ``` Now I need to assign the AppDate to NUll like DBNull, but I am not able to do it directly. If I change AppDate to Date then I am not getting the required format. Any help is appreciated . Thanks in Advance.
