How to parse Nullable from a SqlDataReader

Question

The DateTime.TryParse method takes a DateTime as an argument, not a DateTime? ?

Right now I have the following code:

if(!DateTime.TryParse(reader[\"P         


        

Answer 1

It's normal. The out argument is not set if the parse fail. So if the type of the wargument were Nullable it would have been a redudant information.
