Why were you unable to set it? What happened, what is your code at all? – Tim Schmelter Dec 04 '15 at 10:42

You can't set DateTime to null. It's value type but not reference type. Like structures, int, double, etc.
You can use Nullable<DateTime> (the same = DateTime? ).
Or instantiate it with default value var someDateTime = default(DateTime);

Only reference type variable could be equal to null. All value-type variables could have only some value like nubmers, dates and so on. Null is not a value, it's like a flag, that referenced value does not specify any reference to value, that's why null could not be applyed to value-type variables. – AntonKolesnikov Dec 04 '15 at 11:05
