LINQ query - null date

Question

Hi

Ive a simple linq query to return records with a null date field, just want to check the synatx of the "where" line is ok

var query2 = from cs in db.tblCases where cs.date_closed == null etc, etc,

thanks again

Answer 1

Assuming your date_closed property is of a nullable type, e.g. Nullable<DateTime> aka DateTime?, that should be fine.

Answer 2

I would be careful with using null, I have seen issues with linq not generating the correct sytnax (ex IS NULL vs ==null)

I would recommend

var query2 = from cs in db.tblCases where !cs.date_closed.HasValue etc, etc,
