Hi, I would like to ask. The purpose of my application is to receive trouble/complain from customerson a software company.

It is a CUSTOMER SUPPORT SYSTEM.

So on the Support form, it consists of like this:

Support Officer Name: <textBox>

Support Time (Date & Time): <datePicker1> <timePicker1>

Customer Name : <textBox>

Contact Type : <comboBox>

Finish Time(Date & Time) : <datePicker2> <timePicker2>

[Ok] [Cancel]

"Support Officer Name:", "Support Time (Date & Time): ", "Customer Name :", "Contact Type :", "Finish Time(Date & Time) :" are labels.

Items on comboBox are: Fax, Mail and Telephone.

So how the customer contact the company is also documented.

"Ok"and "Cancel" are buttons.

Here is the case:

Today (2008/01/1712:10:05) there is a phone call from a customer whose having a problem with his application.

So the support officer open this Support form and start to add new entry.

IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE SUPPORT OFFICER TO NOT FILL IN THE FINISH TIME because if the trouble does not finished today, it will continued tomorrow and so on. So there is no limit when the solution must be finished.

To complete that Finish Time, the support officer must be edit that data and fill the Finish Time.

How to do that(not fill the finish time)/manipulate the empty Finish Time by using datePicker and timePicker?

Thank you very much.

There's a nice sample of a nullable DateTimePicker at this link:

hi

you can check the datepirkcer text property for ex

1.

if(datetimepicker.text.trim().lenght !=0)

{

datetimetodayDate = datetimepicker.value

}

2. database datetime column must allow the nulls

Ok for the data saving, I use String type but for temporary data variable, I use DateTime object, so if I use your code it would be like this:

if (dateTimePicker1->Text->Trim()->Lenght != 0)

{

DateTime ^dt = dateTimePicker1->Value;

MessageBox:how(dt->ToString());

}

else MessageBox:how("Not Ok.");

1. What still be a question is how to make the dateTimePicker value to null? The default when I ran my application is current time, like now in my computer is 17:22:44 so in the timePicker it is written 17:22:44 and when I click the button to process above code, it shows "Not Ok" which means that the dateTimePicker was not Null?

2. Are you sure that if I assign a null value to the DateTime object like I did above will not threw an exception when the project ran? I mean does the DateTime object support null value?

3. How to assign a null value to the dateTimePicker? Because I need it to handle this condition:

Thank you very much.

Wow, that sounds great.. What is the time min value? 00:00:00? Can you please give me code sample ofyours which you have successfully developed?

Thankyou very much..
