Hello,
I'm not sure if this question should go in the SQL forum or this one...
I'm using VB.NET and SQL Server.
I'm using stored procedures to update and create new records in my database.
On the form I'm working on, I have 2 date fields.
I want the user to have the option of leaving these blank.
I do not want default values.
I'm getting error messages not matter what I try.
What syntax can I use to get VB to pass this null value instead of a date,
into SQL??
Thanks!

Use a parameter and set the value to DBNull.Value.

If I use the code:
cLP.DateApprove d = Convert.DBNull. value
I get the error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Invalid CastException' occurred in
microsoft.visua lbasic.dll
Additional information: Cast from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid.
Amber
Amber,
I'm not sure how your object is configured but the problem may be your
cLP.DateApprove d is a date type which you can't assign a type of
DBNull.Value. You'll have to assign the underlying db object (the column) the
value of DBNull.Value. If indeed cLP.DateApprove d is a object of type date,
you can cLP.DateApprove d = Date.MinValue which is still a date value, just a
real old one. Unfortunately, that won't put Null into your table. Also
remember that your column in the table must allow nulls.
Try posting your question in microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.adonet -
where the gurus of ado hang out. Someone could probably answer this one
correctly in 5 minutes.

You cannot set a DBNull value to Datefield, Instead you are supposed to use
store procedure and through Parameter you have to set the DBNull to the
required filed.

Hi, I have an application that opens a Crystal report document and
passes in a value to a parameter in the report (pointing to an Oracle
DB). However, if I want to pass a "null" value to retrieve all records
that have no data for the specified field that the parameter is a
condition of (ie. SELECT * from <table> where <field> is null"), it
returns nothing. I think CR is building the SQL statement like "SELECT

Hey folks,
I am attempting to pass null as the input value from a series of
textboxes if the user does not input a value prior to submit. To try and do
this, I am using a vbscript function on this asp as follows:
CommentsAdd = IIf(Request.Form("Comments")="",NULL,Request.Form("Comments"))
I was hoping this would convert those emptystring textboxes to null.

I have a TabelAdapter that has an int column that allows null (no

the parameters in the InserQuery method, it shows the needed value as
?int, with the question mark. But if the combo box that the value is

configure my query to pass the null value when necessary?

Hi All,
I have started tearing my hair out over this problem!
I am pulling some data from a table and passing it as variables into a function in Access. One of the variables I'm passing through can be Null, so to avoid trying to pass a Null value to a function as a string (which I gather Access wouldn't like) I created an IIF function inside the parameters so if the value was null, it passed the string "NULLDEPOT" into the function, and I...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
