C# absolute min date

Question

For political correctness, I would like to know if there is a way to instantiate a date so that it contains the lowest date value possible in c# net v2.

Answer 1

Try DateTime.MinValue. This is the lowest possible value for a DateTime instance in the CLR. It is a language independent value.

Answer 2

DateTime myDate = DateTime.MinValue;

Answer 3

A newly constructed DateTime object also handily constructs by default to MinValue.
