That's what I thought too... but..

In [82]: System.Nullable[System.DateTime]()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-82-97bddf8dec27> in <module>()
----> 1 System.Nullable[System.DateTime]()

TypeError: no constructor matches given arguments

In any case that would give me an actual DateTime, not a Nullable<DateTime> 
with HasValue = false

If only you HasValue wasn't read only ;)

Anyway, now I understand what is going on I think this is enough of an edge 
case not to worry about - unless someone out there has a simple fix to 
pythondotnet to support it.

Try System.Nullable[System.DateTime]()
I haven't tested that, but I think that's what you need.

Thanks.   At least on my system there is no such thing as System.Null

In c# at least, null is just a keyword in the language.

I believe you want to import System and pass System.Null. I can't remember if 
I've done this, but I think so.

I am sure there is a really simple answer to this one... but so far it is 
eluding me.

I have a class something like this:

public class Foo
{
  ...
    public int process_date(DateTime? mydate)
   {
      ...
   }
}


I want to call this from python using pythondotnet.


Calling it like this works fine:

     mydate = DateTime(0)
     Foo().process_date(mydate)

But if I try to pass in a null as the date as follows:

    Foo().process_date(None)

I get:

   TypeError: No method matches given arguments

Hoping there is something really obvious I am missing here.
