Replacing a DateTime.MinValue in a DataGridView

Question

I am working on a name record application and the information is stored in a SQLite database. All columns in the database are TEXT types, except for the date of birth column

Answer 1

you can cast the object as a DateTime object:

//create a nullable intermediate variable
System.DateTime? dtCellValue = resultsGrid.CurrentRow.Cells["DateOfBirth"].Value as System.DateTime?;

//if this cell has been set to String.Emtpy the cast will fail
//so ensure the intermediate variable isn't null
if ( dtCellValue.HasValue && dtCellValue == System.DateTime.MinValue )
//set cell value appropriately
