checking if date field is null

awry1awry1
in FastReport .NET

Hello,

I'm trying to check if a DateTime field is null and eventually found that the following was returning the year 0001 when the DateTime field was null:

the following doesn't work because it will return '1' for a null DateTime entry:

bool taskExecuted = !string.IsNullOrEmpty(((DateTime)Report.GetColumnValue("Task.ExecuteTime")).ToString())

I eventually used this method which is working but feels wrong:

bool taskExecutedYearX = !((DateTime)Report.GetColumnValue("Task.ExecuteTime")).Year.ToString().Equals("1")

Is there a better way to check a nullable DateTime field in FR?

Thank you.
