Passing null as SQLParameter DateTime value

Question

I have the following query:

INSERT INTO CWS_FORWARDING_PROFILE
           (TNR_COMPANY_PROFILE,BOL_FORWARD_MAIL,BOL_FORWARD_SMS,BOL_FORWARD_MESSAGES
           ,DT_MO_FROM1,DT_MO_FROM2,DT_MO_FROM3,DT_MO_TO1,DT_MO_TO2,DT_MO_TO3
           ,DT_TU_FROM1,DT_TU_FROM2,DT_TU_FROM3,DT_TU_TO1,DT_TU_TO2,DT_TU_TO3
           ,DT_WE_FROM1,DT_WE_FROM2,DT_WE_FROM3,DT_WE_TO1,DT_WE_TO2,DT_WE_TO3
           ,DT_TH_FROM1,DT_TH_FROM2,DT_TH_FROM3,DT_TH_TO1,DT_TH_TO2,DT_TH_TO3
           ,DT_FR_FROM1,DT_FR_FROM2,DT_FR_FROM3,DT_FR_TO1,DT_FR_TO2,DT_FR_TO3
           ,DT_SA_FROM1,DT_SA_FROM2,DT_SA_FROM3,DT_SA_TO1,DT_SA_TO2,DT_SA_TO3
           ,DT_SU_FROM1,DT_SU_FROM2,DT_SU_FROM3,DT_SU_TO1,DT_SU_TO2,DT_SU_TO3)

            VALUES(@tnrProfile, @forwardMail, @forwardSms, @forwardMessages,
                    @MoFrom1, @MoFrom2, @MoFrom3, @MoTo1, @MoTo2, @MoTo3,
                    @TuFrom1, @TuFrom2, @TuFrom3, @TuTo1, @TuTo2, @TuTo3,
                    @WeFrom1, @WeFrom2, @WeFrom3, @WeTo1, @WeTo2, @WeTo3,
                    @ThFrom1, @ThFrom2, @ThFrom3, @ThTo1, @ThTo2, @ThTo3,
                    @FrFrom1, @FrFrom2, @FrFrom3, @FrTo1, @FrTo2, @FrTo3,
                    @SaFrom1, @SaFrom2, @SaFrom3, @SaTo1, @SaTo2, @SaTo3,
                    @SuFrom1, @SuFrom2, @SuFrom3, @SuTo1, @SuTo2, @SuTo3);

I add my DateTime parameters as follows:

SqlParameter moFrom1Param = new SqlParameter("@MoFrom1", dTOForwarding.MoFrom1);
            moFrom1Param.IsNullable = true;
            moFrom1Param.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
            moFrom1Param.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.DateTime;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(moFrom1Param);

When I execute this, but only give an actual datetime to certain parameters and all the rest is null. So to be clear, all parameters from monday till wednesday have a datetime value. The rest thursday till sunday hasn't. So those are passed as null. I get an error like this:

The parameterized query '(@tnrProfile int,@forwardMail bit,@forwardSms bit,@forwardMessag' expects the parameter '@ThFrom1', which was not supplied.

I have looked for some answers here on stackoverflow and google, but the answers I've found never worked for me..

So my question is, how can I make sure that if my DateTime parameter has null as value, that value is understood by sql and actually passed as null instead of telling me the parameter was not supplied.

Hope someone here can help me.

Thanks.

edit: This is the solution:

SqlParameter moFrom1Param = new SqlParameter("@MoFrom1", dTOForwarding.MoFrom1 == null ?
                (Object)DBNull.Value : dTOForwarding.MoFrom1);
            moFrom1Param.IsNullable = true;
            moFrom1Param.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
            moFrom1Param.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.DateTime;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(moFrom1Param);

Answer 1

Use the null coalescing operator ?? in conjuction with DBNull.Value:

SqlParameter moFrom1Param;

moFrom1Param = new SqlParameter( "@MoFrom1", dTOForwarding.MoFrom1 ?? DBNull.Value );
