Are you trying to send a null to the database?
Or are you asking how to react if you receive a null from the database?

Are you sure your database "DateField" is really of a type Datetime?
It could be the database is holding that value as a string and you need to parse it.

But you can't assign a null to a datetime. It is already a null if created without giving it a value. If you want to keep it a null, don't change it.
