can't send "null" to a Date field?

Hi,
  I am building integration with SFDC using their APEX API in .NET.
  I am using the enterprise.wsdl, and I have generated my proxy classes w/o any issues and everything has been working great with one exception.
 
  One of the objects that I am sending data to has a custom date field.  If that date field has a value, and then that value is nulled out, I can't seem to figure out how to send "null" back to SFDC so that it nulls out the date field.
 
  I've tried:   
         object.DateField__c = Nothing;

apologies - a key sequence must have submitted this twice for me before I was done typing.

I'll start over:

         object.DateFied__c = #12:00 AM#
 
  and both produce errors from SFDC.
 
  Any ideas on how to send a "null" date value to SFDC through their APEX API?
 
Thanks,
