Null DateTime

[Jonathan Scott-Sheldon]

I had been using the ByteFx predecessor to the official MySql .NET Connector. I typically use a command object and mysqlparameters to pass values for insert and update queries. In some cases I need to pass a null value for a datetime.

With the older version I could construct a MySqlParameter as a MySqlDbType.Datetime with a NULL value and this worked great. However, with the "official" release I am now unable to pass a NULL value as a MySqlDbType.Datetime, the following error is thrown:

Only DateTime objects can be serialized by MySqlDateTime

How would you recommend I pass null datetime's as parameters or is there an alternate technique? Should I just include any datetimes inline in the SQL command? I think this is what I am going to need to do. This is quite frustrating.
