What is the proper way to check for null or empty strings on dynamic objects? This is the only solution I've found so far:
if (admin.PasswordHash.GetType() == typeof(DBNull) || admin.PasswordHash == string.Empty)
If the field is null, the object returned is DBNull.Value, but if the field is empty string, it's return as a System.String object. This makes it impossible to do regular "admin.PasswordHash == DBNull.Value" check, as that will fail whenever the field has been set to empty string. Is my example the right (and only) way to go?

we have a AutoGenerateColumns-enabled WmxDataGrid in which we are able to update table rows in a DataBase connected with a SqlDataSource.
Each time we clear a field an empty string is written to the database where we want to write DBNull values.
At the moment we generate the update string via UPDATE... SET.. and the SQL Server function NULLIF(value, '').
Works proper but when I want to add the values to e.NewValues in BeginUpdate event I'm not able to read the values from the auto generated text boxes. How do I do that? Is there an easier way to automatically convert empty strings to NULL values?
I was develop an application (ASP.Net) Using (VS.Net C# 2010 & SQL Server 2008)
And I was applying (3-tyer Basics) and I'm not using wizard forever in my application.
The problem is :
When I try to passing the parameters to database, some fields I don't type it But it's show in database (Empty like "Space") in text fields and (01-01-1900) in date fields
Although it's must be (Null) .
How I can pass parameters with Null Values for the fields that's not typed?
I have setup my business object to have a create_date and edit_date members both datetime datatypes. My company want to display the create_date and edit_date fields in a gridview for each transaction. The problem i have is that after insterting a record it will have a valid create_date but no edit_date and when displayed in the gridview it defaults to datetime.minvalue (My default). How on earth do i show an empty field in my gridview for a null datetime field in the database?
I am using similar architecture to the Imar Spaanjaars example of a tiered solution. With a few small tweeks it has worked well for me for ages. I am passing a List<Database> to my object datasource which connects to my gridview.
I have a sql database that on some field will have a empty string/field. I am using a Datalist to display my results. How do I not make the labels that are empty not display? Currently if the field is empty it will leave a space there which my goal is if the field is empty do not leave a white space instead move the other colunms up.
View 2 RepliesI have a FormView with a byte field. The field is not required and if I don't enter a value, I get an error that the value is not acceptable in a byte field. I can replace the null value with 0 but I would prefer not to.
What is the best way to handle this so that if I do not enter a value in a byte (or int16) field to insert a null value (or whatever they do in the ASP.net).
I have this code, how will I write the code so I can check if a textbox i empty? This way want work. Now it goes in if cellPhone != null all the time.

I have a Formview control that has several lookup fields. The value is an int ID but the textfield is the name, e.g. value = StateID, displayed text = StateCode)
If the user leaves that field blank, I get a Server Error when attempting to Update: Failed to set one or more properties on type orgOrganization. is not a valid value for Int32.
In the table for the LinqDataSource which provides the data for the Formview, all fields except the text field OrganizationName allow Nulls.
Does anyone know why this might be happening? I tried a test which just has the numbers, no lookups, and get the same result.
is it possible to display Null. if my sql data is null while binding it with gridview in asp.net

i'm trying to check for an empty cell in a gridview.
On the RowDataBound event I tried the following:
- if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(e.Row.Cells[2].Text.Trim()))
- if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(e.Row.Cells[2].Text))
- if (e.Row.Cells[2].Text == "")
None of them worked.
I'm using boundfields. I can't use a TemplateField with a label because I need to check for other stuff for that column in the RowDataBound event by doing e.Row.Cells[2].Text - that only works if I use boundfields.
I have a sql view of a table, I need to check whether it is empty, if it is empty, I need to hide a grid, other wise I need to show it.
Is there anything useful for me to check the sqldatasource?
As example:
SqlDataSource1.isitempty();
or such things.
Do I have to use dataset or such things?
I have a Gridview showing the data on one of my tables, and when I try to edit the data in one of the columns after I click update, rather than updating the record with the new value I typed in, the rows become null as in, everything in the row I just edited disappears. This inmediatly makes my application crash because one of the fields in my table (IssueDescription) doesn't allows null values.
This is the code, which is actually 100% auto-generated from when I created the GridView control and specified in the options to implement update, delete, edit options.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="ticketNum"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" [code].....
What is making the rows turn into null after the update? I did some research and tried to define the Update behaviour myself using RowUpdating function. After hours of learning how to use it I got it to "work", but because the Update turns everything to null when it updates, the sqlconnection command I use to do the query sends null anyways. I can paste the C# code if you'd like to see it, though I'd rather not use it if the auto-generated by asp above can be fixed instead.
I have a detailsview on my page binding a table with information about the employees. They can update their information. Some info should be visible but not updateable. I could change the update command not updating but I like the control where I can set the column to read only. In that way the employee will find the data visible and they will see that the field/column cannot be changed. But having the column read only will return a null-value into that column when editing and updating anything. Why is that? Shouldn't it just update it's read only value?

Now I know this works.. but what is the right way to have this? I don't want to be checking something twice instead of just having it written out once.
I am tryin to get records where certain fields are empty, but the following sql does not give me correct result.
SELECT [specimen Type], [Year], [Lab Number]
From [PET Fish] where
ltrim(rtrim([Diagnosis])) = '' or
ltrim(rtrim([Results])) = '' or
ltrim(rtrim([Sign out Date])) = ''
It should return all records, but it returns none.
