Assign a DBNull to Optional parameter

Hi,

Is there a way to assign a DBNull value to an optional parameter of a
function?

I tried:
Public Function AddUpdateCases( _
ByVal CrisCaseID As Integer, _
Optional ByVal APN As DateTime = System.DBNull.v alue)

Doe not work for me.

Thanks in Advance

DateTime is a Value type so I don't think that's going to work. You can
check the .MinValue and if it is the MinValue (which it will be if its not
assigned) then set the dbcommand parameter value to dbnull. I'd also
recommend using an overload instead but that recommendation will probably
start a flame war ;-)

I have a dataset that has DBNull in certain columns, now when I write out this one to XML, I only get the columns as elements that do have data in it. However I do need also the empty colums as empty elements in the XML. How to do that ? I don't understand why there is no simple option to specify the output format, or did I miss something ? regards andreas

I just picked up a copy of John Robbins' debugging book and started to look at disassembled code. Anyway, I hate optional Parameters in VB, but I was checking them out to see what IL is created. I've done this before with Modules, and saw that <gasp> they behave just like sealed classes with only static members. Anyway, it looks like Optional Parameters are nothing but a way to tell the compiler to write some overloads for you. So, in...

I got a similar idea a couple of months ago, but now this one will require no change to the clr, is relatively easy to implement and would be a great addition to C# 3.0 :) so here we go.. To make things simpler and better readable I'd make all default parameters named parameters so that you can decide for yourself which one to pass and which not, rather than relying on massively overlaoded methods which hopefully provide the best...

Hi guys, In the past I have used several time optional parameters in my function. But Now I am more inclined to think that they are more dangerous than useful, and probably better to be avoided. I'd like to hear your various opinions on this matter.

We are gradually upgrading our vb6 code to .net. A lot of our shared modules in vb6 we are upgrading to .Net dlls that are shared. One problem we have is that we have VB6 modules that have optional parameters that default to null. Of course interopt converts these to dbnull. The only problem with dbnull is that you can not use it as a default for a parameter since it is not a constant. Is there anyway to get around this? Currently we use...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
