The current databas structure that i'm working with allowed NULL's an now
I'm converting the app to .NET and it will not allow NULLs in the fields
when populated.
So my question is, how can i hande NULL's being pulled from the DB now?
When I try to access a page and if the field is NULL I get an error:
i do i fix this? I'm using VB.NET for coding
Cast from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid. 8 2307
Mike,
try the following:
if not isdbnull(yourvalue) then
' do sth
end if

Use iif turner operator available in visual basic, see reference below: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...l/vafctiif.asp
Dim toReturn As String = IIf(Expression:=IsDBNull(currentRow.Item(0)),
TruePart:="",
FalsePart:=currentRow.Item(0))
So in above case if currentRow.Item(0) is dbnull, then it will return empty
string, otherwise
it will return currentRow.Item(0).

whats happening is that I have a main page (datagrid) and when a user
highlights a row and clicks the Edit button it takes them to a detailed edit
screen and some of the fields that are being pulled back from the database
have <NULL> in the fields instead of data (IE: Scooby) If the column has
<NULL> I'm getting an error
on the field name that has <NULL> in it but if the column is blank it works
fine.
I just need to get around <NULL> if it is in column instead of data

Just create a function like this:
Public Function NullHelper(ByVal obj As Object) As String
If IsDBNull(obj) Then Return String.Empty
Return obj.ToString()
End Function
If check if the value is null and if it is, it will return a empty string.

Hi Mike,
Is the TextBox bound to a Dataset? If so, you may set the TextBox's
DataBings property. In Binding for Text, you can specify a custom binding
expression. For example, a function like Richard suggested.
