System.InvalidOperationException must contain value for ViewModel

I have this in my controller:

MyTestViewModel asdf = new MyTestViewModel 
{
    SomeTestDate = _b.Get开发者_开发知识库SomeDate(SomeID).Value,
    SomeDate2 = SomeDate2.Value,
    SomeDate3 = SomeDate3.Value
    };

in the function "GetSomeDate" I have:

var x = c.ExecuteScalar();

return x as DateTime?;

And I get InvalidOperationException that object must contain value, when function returns null, which it should be able to.

What might be wrong here?

Before calling the getter of the Value property you must check if the nullable type contains a value or you will get an exception:

var date = _b.GetSomeDate(SomeID);
MyTestViewModel asdf = new MyTestViewModel 
{
    SomeTestDate = date.HasValue ? date.Value : DateTime.MinValue,
    SomeDate2 = SomeDate2.Value,
    SomeDate3 = SomeDate3.Value
};

Here's the relevant source code of the getter (extracted with Reflector):

public T get_Value()
{
    if (!this.HasValue)
    {
        ThrowHelper.ThrowInvalidOperationException(ExceptionResource.InvalidOperation_NoValue);
    }
    return this.value;
}
