how to test for System.DBNull

[moondaddy]

How can I test to see if an object is System.DBNull? I have an event and
need to get the value from a parameter like this:
Private Sub ValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Try
Dim ID As Int32
'Next line is suto code. it doesnt compile
If sender.Value Is System.DBNull Then
ID = 0
Else
ID = sender.Value
End If
If I put a watch on "sender.Value" its value is {System.DBNull}.

Thanks.

If sender.Value Is System.DBNull.Value Then
ID = 0
Else
ID = sender.Value
End If

Moondaddy,

Value is not a member of object

However the sender is the object that is sending this object and because
that every object derives from object, can you forever (direct)cast it.

Therefore it probably has to be something as
\\\\
DirectCast(sender, YourSendingObjectType).value Is Dbnull.value.
////

I hope this helps,

Cor
