USE THIS CODE IT DOES STORE NULL IN SQL

SaveID(IDTextbox.text,DateTextbox.text)
Private Function SaveID(ByVal ID As String,ByVal Date As DateTime)
SaveID = False
Try
Me.MySqlConnect(My.Settings.AAConnectionString)
Dim MySqlCmd As SqlClient.SqlCommand
MySqlCmd = New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO [AA].[dbo].[tbl_ID]([ID],[Date]) VALUES (@ID,,@Date)", Me.Connection)
MySqlCmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@ID", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 10))
MySqlCmd.Parameters("@ID").Value = ID
If Date<> Nothing Then
MySqlCmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Date", SqlDbType.DateTime))
MySqlCmd.Parameters("@Date").Value = Convert.ToDateTime(Date)
Else
Dim getDate As SqlDateTime
getDate = SqlDateTime.Null
MySqlCmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Date", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 100))
MySqlCmd.Parameters("@Date").Value = getDate
end if
MySqlCmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
MySqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Me.Connection.Close()
SaveID = True
Catch e As Exception
MsgBox(e.Message)
End Try
END Function
