I'm calling a stored procedure which has an output parameter of type int.
Once the stored procedure is executed, I want to check the value of the
parameter in case it is null. However, when the a null value is returned I
don't seem to be able to detect it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
C# code is as follows:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("sp_GetApplicationID", conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
SqlParameter param = cmd.Parameters.Add("@iApplicationID",
SqlDbType.Int);
param.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
param = cmd.Parameters.Add("@vcApplicationConstName",
SqlDbType.VarChar);
param.Value = sAppConstName;
if (conn.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn.Close();
// check for null here
if (cmd.Parameters["@iApplicationID"].Value != null){
iID = (int)cmd.Parameters["@iApplicationID"].Value;
}
else{
throw new ApplicationException("Unable to retrieve Application ID for
application: " + sAppConstName);
}
Stored Procedure (for test purposes):
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_BSQ_GetApplicationID]
@vcApplicationConstName varchar(50),
@iApplicationID int OUTPUT
AS
SET @iApplicationID = null
GO
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello
Compare with DBNull.Value instead of null.
if (cmd.Parameters["@iApplicationID"].Value != DBNull.Value)
{
.....
}

MSDN says:
When sending a null parameter value to the server, the user must specify
DBNull, not null. The null value in the system is an empty object that
has no value. DBNull is used to represent null values
So try
cmd.Parameters["@iApplicationID"].Value != DBNull.Value
Dmitry
"NULLl" is a valid value and it's not the same as "null" - the literal that
represents a null reference.
Here is some info on DBNull class. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ClassTopic.asp

Why are DBNull and null different? Aren't they the same thing?
Wilford
Me thinks you mispoke. Here is the what is said:
In database applications, a null object is a valid value for a _field_.
This class
differentiates between a null value (a null object) and an uninitialized
value
(the DBNull.Value instance).
In other words:
NULL is not a value at all. NULL is a placeholder for missing
information.
