    Optional date parameter initialization

    I am migrating my first vb6 app to vb.net 2003.

    In the vb6 app a number of subs had optional date parameters:
    Sub Fred ( ... ,optional FromDate as Date = 0...)

    I need something like zero in there to see if the parameter has been used or
    not.

    In vb.net the imported code fails with:
    Value of type 'Integer' cannot be converted to 'Date'

    I have to supply a default value for the date - is there anything I can use
    that obviously indicates that the parameter has not been supplied by the
    caller?
