Use DBNull Value  Better still  make your stored procedure parameters have defaults of NULL  Or use a Nullable lt DateTime gt  parameter if the parameter will sometimes be a valid DateTime object

Let s say the name of the parameter is  Id  in your SQL stored procedure  and the C  function you re using to call the database stored procedure is name of type int   Given that  following might solve your issue    public void storedProcedureName Nullable lt int gt  id  string name        var idParameter   id HasValue                   new SqlParameter  Id   id                    new SqlParameter   ParameterName    Id   SqlDbType   SqlDbType Int  Value   DBNull Value            to be continued

You can pass the DBNull Value into the parameter s  Value property       SqlParameters 0    new SqlParameter  LedgerID   SqlDbType BigInt        SqlParameters 0  Value   DBNull Value    Just adjust for your two DateTime parameters  obviously - just showing how to use the DBNull Value property value here   Marc

I use a method to convert to DBNull if it is null         Converts to DBNull  if Null     public static object ToDBNull object value                if  null    value              return value          return DBNull Value          So when setting the parameter  just call the function      sqlComm Parameters Add new SqlParameter   NoteNo   LibraryHelper ToDBNull NoteNo       This will ensure any nulls  get changed to DBNull Value  else it will stay the same
