Checking if the value of type DateTime is null in view and showing blank if null

Question

From my controller I have passed value module to view

    public ActionResult Details(long id, string owner)
    {
        var module = _ownedModuleRepositor         


        

Answer 1

Try adding a space:

<dt>Ownership End Date</dt>
<dd>
    @if (Model.End != null)
    {
        @Model.End
    }
    else
    {
        @:&nbsp;
    }
</dd>

Answer 2

Won't a ternary operation work here:

@(Model.End != null ? Model.End.ToString() : "")

Answer 3

you can use C# null coalescing operator:

@(Model.End?.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy") ?? "Date is Empty")

Answer 4

recently i had this issue when user inserted null value in date column

which lead to this error:

System.InvalidOperationException: Nullable object must have a value

to solve this instead of DisplayFor just use below code in your view , so if the column value is null it will display Date is Empty

 <td>

@(item.Startdate.HasValue ? item.Startdate.Value.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy") : "Date is Empty")

</td>

further reading this and this for model

hope helps someone.
