Blazor Serverside Application Datetime default to 01/01/0001

Question

I tried to make my CreatedDate column to be null or at least show the current date when I launch the application instead of 01/01/0001. I tried the example in Format MVC default Date (01/01/0001) to be empty and by adding a dot notation "newPerson.StartDate.Now" to the column on the razor page which wasn't working either.

Answer 1

public DateTime? MyDate { get; set; }

In your constructor of your object:

MyDate = null;

Or if you want to use a date

MyDate = DateTime.Now;

I just tested and both work for me.
