你们把事情搞得太复杂了。重要的是，停止使用ToString，开始使用字符串格式，比如string。支持字符串格式的格式或方法，如Console.WriteLine。下面是这个问题的最佳解决方案。这也是最安全的。

更新:

我用当前c#编译器的最新方法更新了示例。条件操作符和字符串插值

DateTime? dt1 = DateTime.Now;
DateTime? dt2 = null;

Console.WriteLine("'{0:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}'", dt1);
Console.WriteLine("'{0:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}'", dt2);
// New C# 6 conditional operators (makes using .ToString safer if you must use it)
// https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/null-conditional-operators
Console.WriteLine(dt1?.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"));
Console.WriteLine(dt2?.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"));
// New C# 6 string interpolation
// https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/tokens/interpolated
Console.WriteLine($"'{dt1:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}'");
Console.WriteLine($"'{dt2:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}'");

输出:(我在里面放了单引号，所以你可以看到它返回为空字符串时为null)

'2019-04-09 08:01:39'
''
2019-04-09 08:01:39

'2019-04-09 08:01:39'
''

c# 6.0宝贝:

dt2 ? . ToString(“dd / MM / yyyy”);

您可以使用dt2. value . tostring ("format")，但当然这需要dt2 != null，这首先就否定了可空类型的使用。

这里有几个解决方案，但最大的问题是:您希望如何格式化空日期?

Console.WriteLine(dt2 != null ? dt2.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss") : "n/a"); 

编辑:如其他注释中所述，检查是否有一个非空值。

更新:如评论中推荐，扩展方法:

public static string ToString(this DateTime? dt, string format)
    => dt == null ? "n/a" : ((DateTime)dt).ToString(format);

从c# 6开始，您可以使用空条件操作符来进一步简化代码。如果DateTime?是零。

dt2?.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")

这个问题的问题在于，当可为空的datetime没有值时，您没有指定所需的输出。下面的代码将输出DateTime。MinValue在这种情况下，与当前接受的答案不同，将不会抛出异常。

dt2.GetValueOrDefault().ToString(format);

iformatable还包括一个可以使用的格式提供程序，它允许IFormatProvider的两种格式在dotnet 4.0中都为空

/// <summary>
/// Extentionclass for a nullable structs
/// </summary>
public static class NullableStructExtensions {

    /// <summary>
    /// Formats a nullable struct
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="source"></param>
    /// <param name="format">The format string 
    /// If <c>null</c> use the default format defined for the type of the IFormattable implementation.</param>
    /// <param name="provider">The format provider 
    /// If <c>null</c> the default provider is used</param>
    /// <param name="defaultValue">The string to show when the source is <c>null</c>. 
    /// If <c>null</c> an empty string is returned</param>
    /// <returns>The formatted string or the default value if the source is <c>null</c></returns>
    public static string ToString<T>(this T? source, string format = null, 
                                     IFormatProvider provider = null, 
                                     string defaultValue = null) 
                                     where T : struct, IFormattable {
        return source.HasValue
                   ? source.Value.ToString(format, provider)
                   : (String.IsNullOrEmpty(defaultValue) ? String.Empty : defaultValue);
    }
}

与命名参数一起使用，你可以做到:

dt2。ToString (defaultValue: n / a”);

在旧版本的dotnet中，你会遇到很多重载
