isDBNull() on two tables

[luna]

how to i use isdbnull on two tables ?

im pulling out the data with a stored procedure like this :-

CREATE PROCEDURE search

@search varchar(8)

AS

Select * from databasel,datab ase2 where database1.ID = @search and
database2.ID = @search

GO

i need to check if a field is null which i do by

If objDR.IsDBNull( 1) Then
field1.Text() = ""
Else : field1.Text = objDR("field1")
End If
but how do i do this over two tables ???

I am not sure I know what the problem is. IsDBNull works regardless of the number of tables you join

The two tables issue is irrelvant, one select statement, one data source.
Aside from that, what are you trying to accomplish with that sql statement?
I think I know what you are after, a search of many tables for one element,
you may want to look at the UNION operator in sql server.

First, are you retriving this data into a dataset?

If so, then you would have to do something like
If Not DataBinder.Eval (sDataSet, "tables(0).Defa ultView.(0).Fie ldName".Trim) Is System.DBNull.V alue The
....
End I

I hope i understood your questions and directed you in the right direction

Mark,
If I understand correctly yr having problems cos' the field names
are the same name. The datareader doesnt care if you have 1 or n tables,
all it gets to see are the fields that are in the collection. I think
you should be fine if you alias the fields.

thanks for the suggestions

im basically pulling out all the data from two tables and populating a form
i thought i could retrieve all the data with one while / end while block
but currently i have to use 2 - i was trying to tighten up the code by
pulling out both sets of data in the same while/ end while
i was asking about isdbnull() as im having to use the ordinal number -
im not sure of the ordinal number for the second set of data ? - or does it
just follow on ?
