How to Convert empty string to Null value - Insert into a DB
[Code]....
[Code]....
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?
How do I check if my value is empty AND Isnull? I need to check for both, using ISNULL is not enough because the data can change just so that it is empty.
how I can change my query to accommodate this?

on VWD 2005 this code works fine, but on 2008 it says I haven't created an instance of the object. I want to convert the object connString (a connection string) into a string.
'This acceses the virtual directory web.config file for connection strings
'We have to convert the object to a connection string
Dim rootWebConfig As System.Configuration.Configuration
rootWebConfig = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/VirtualDirec")

As System.Configuration.ConnectionStringSettings

String = connString.ToString().......
For coonverting Linq to DataTable I am using the following Extension Method(Taken from Stackoverflow)
L[code]....
The Extension Method creates XML file.But for null values no element is created in XML file.Say if Commission field is null then commission element is missing in Xml generation.
I want to insert element with empty string for null values (ref type) and (0.00) for decimals and (0) for integers. where do i need to make change?
We have an ASP.NET web service that invokes a stored procedure on our DB (Oracle 11g). The problem is that the call to the procedure blows up every time an empty string is passed as one of the parameters. We're seeing an ORA-01084 error, which indicates to me that call is failing before the procedure is actually run.
Here's the procedure, minus some logic that I believe is not relevant:
[Code]....
As an experiment, I modified the web service to pass null rather than an empty strings. When null is passed in, I see an error indicating "wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'CREATEREPORT."
I also tried passing DBNull.Value whenever the params were null/empty, but that resulted in the error
Parameter 'p_column_id': No size set for variable length data type: String.
(Of course, p_column_id was the empty parameter in this case).
So, how can I successfully pass empty strings as parameters to my stored procedure? We definitely want to allow the p_column_id parameter to be empty.
If I have JSON like this and pass it to the engine I am using to create a PDF file, the word "null" appears on the PDF. This isn't really my example, but I googled "json replace null empty string" and this was a hit, which is a good representation of my data, also:
{
"relationship": {
"type": "relationship",
"id": null,
"followed_id": null
}
}
We use a rendering engine that creates a PDF from a fixed template and variable data in the form of a json string. But our customers don't want to read that the id is "null", they want to read that the id is blank. In my C# program, the json is just a string, so I can easily do something like this:
jsonString = jsonString.Replace("null,", ",");but the issue is I can't replace null-comma with a comma, because then it's invalid json.
how to I make the rendering engine *and* my customer both happy?
I have drop dowm menu as follow.
<asp:ListItem Value="">none</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="STO">Stock</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="ORD">Order</asp:ListItem>
If I chose none, it stores data as "Null" If I Query the data as below, I don't get the data has value of "Null" SELECT tabale From type Where type <> STO or type <> ORD I get data that has empty string but not Null.
1, How do I write dropdown menu value in oder to get empty string instead of Null?
I did <asp:ListItem Value="">none</asp:ListItem> but this stores Null.
2, Why this Query won't pick up Null?
SELECT mytabale FROM type WHERE type <> STO or type <> ORD
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.
Datecol is a datetime in a sql table.
q="select convert(char(8),datecol1,112) from tblone where datecol2 is null"
is what I use for my query string for sqlcommand(). I'm getting the error "a field or property datecol1 could not be found in the datasource". Without the convert, the query is ok.

I'm having a asp.net listbox on the front end webform with multiple selection, after user selecting multiple items, i'm capturing the DataKeyValue of listbox(which is amenity_id of bigint) and looping all the selected items to a string with comma sepearated values. For example if user selects first 4 options, my output string will be like this (1,2,3,4) and i'm passing this as a string type to my data access layer and then to my below stored proc. I'm geting this error while inserting.. i know that my data type is of bigint and i'm trying to insert string type. i need to convert the string type to INT type and insert data. below are my stored procs:

This is where i'm splitting the comma seperated values and inserting them into table.
I'm having a problem with reading a string from sqlserver database and use it as the text of a label,
getDescTableAdapter gd = new
getDescTableAdapter();
Label2.Text = Convert.ToString(gd.GetDesc(pid));
what i get in the form is: getDesc ! everything is right in the dataset and if i bind it to a gridview it works fine but when i convert it to string it seems it converts the table adaptor's name instead of the value.ance
I swear I'm overthinking this as I've tried different combinations to do an insert from Code Behind to my Sql DB.
This is what my table looks like:

I suspect that the problem may be my date. The format that goes from the UI is mm/dd/yyyy.
I am trying to get the 'userid' of the logged in user using the code below:
"MembershipUser myObject = Membership.GetUser();
String userId = myObject.ProviderUserKey.ToString();"
and later using it as a parameter to the stored procedure.
The logic here is, the user should login first in order to retrieve his/her album. when the user is logged in, im retrieving the 'userid' and using it as parameter to load the corresponding album from the database.
when i login and open the albumpage, im end up with this exception:
"Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Guid".
What could be the reason and how can i avoid this exception.
by the way im using the aspnet_Users table's userid field.
I have a gridview with two bound fields. On clicking a button i want to display the values in first row of gridview in two textboxes. But if gridview cell is empty i am getting the text in textbox to which the value of cell is given as -' 'i know my problem will be solved if i use the template fields instead. But i want a solution while maintaining the bound fields ,if any.
View 2 RepliesI am very new to ASP .NET and am getting above error when trying to insert a new record into a SQL database. I have turned on Option Explicit On so the default date of 01/01/1900 does not get assigned to this field automatically. Since most of the people in the database will not have a date of death, I need to have "blank" deathDate. When I run the stored procedure within SQL and choose pass null value, the Insert Procedure works fine. When I attach to Web Form, however, I get String was not recognized as a valid DateTime error. How can I set it so Null values are accepted into this date field.
View 1 RepliesI added a button click event to my project as:
But since this i am getting this error saying:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
There seems to be no error in my code.
I am getting error "Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Data.DbType".
When I am passing Stored procedure parameter it expets 'System.Data.DbType" and the Data member is declared as a string.
This doesn't work. I've got an exception from SQL databse that column does not allow nulls.
