…atetime fields Added support for handling empty date and datetime fields If the Cursor contains empty date values, the corresponding XSD must include nillable="true". Additionally, empty date/datetime tags should be removed from the XML to avoid errors when calling DataSet.ReadXml() in .NET.

Handle Empty date/datetime Fields in CursorToDataSet
This update adds support for handling empty date and datetime fields in the CursorToDataSet function.
Previously, I encountered issues when working with Visual FoxPro cursors that included empty date fields—.NET would fail to accept them during DataSet.ReadXml() processing. This change resolves that issue.
Key changes:
Introduced an optional parameter to enable handling of empty date/datetime fields.
If enabled, the generated XSD will include nillable="true" for date fields.
Empty date/datetime tags are removed from the XML to avoid .NET parsing errors.
This approach maintains backward compatibility while providing a clean solution for working with VFP cursors in .NET.
Also, this is my first-ever pull request on GitHub—so I hope I’m doing it right! Feedback is very welcome.
