>A client has a Web Service. In order to call it, we use a .NET client in high level. So, when we call the method, we have to pass objects, as this is a complex structure. So, several parameters are being passed as object. Then, in each, we have some properties which are, in one case, dates. So, when I initialize it for that case, it goes like this:

At a guess I'd try declaring loDocumentDates.dtDocumentDate as a nullable type and just not setting it if loRow("CloseDate") contains an empty date.....
