checking for null on aspx page
[Code]....
I have a FormView that is loaded with a records from my DB. Some of the fields may be blank or null. I am trying to check the value of some of the text boxes to verify that the user has updated the fields prior to allowing a DB update from the Edit Template.
I can not seem to get the correct syntax on the if statment to check the value of the text box....
[Code]....
Is it best practice to check whether a value is null coming from a database even though there are constraints on the column which disallow nulls.
View 3 RepliesIs there a cleaner way to check for a null value comming from the database?
Right now i am doing this
[Code]....
There has to be a better what than doing this on every row which could possibly be null
I use the following code to get the file name out of the URL.

This works fine if there is actually a page that shows up after a '/', I would also like to check for when there is nothing showingup after the '/'. My alert above shows nothing to be there, but how do I chack for the nothing. I have tried the folloiwng, but for some resaon it just ignores me. If I do an if statement, it doesn't pick up that there isn't anything there.
if (sPage = '') { alert(sPage);}
Even though there isn't anything there, it won't show the alert and acts as if there is actually something there.
Is there one simple test that a person can do that covers all options where there could be a null, or "" value. When I google, I see so many options. I see:
if txtBox1.text IsNot nothing
if txtBox1.text.toString isNot nothing
if txtBox1.text <> ""
if txtBox1.text.toString <> ""
if isNull(txtBox1)
Is there on test that can cover them all?
protected void rptNavigation_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs e){
if (!((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) || (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)))
{return;
}string Name = string.Empty;
if (IsDBNull(e.Item.DataItem["FullName"])) {
Name = String.Empty;}
else {Name = (string)(e.Item.DataItem["FullName"]);}
Literal ltlLiteral = (Literal)(e.Item.FindControl("ltlLiteral"));
ltlLiteral.Text = Name.ToString();
I get error for IsDbNull - Error 1 The name 'IsDBNull' does not exist in the current context. What's the best way to check for null values returned from db? also I get errors on both lines where (e.Item.FindControl(ltlLiteral")); is present ERror: Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'object'
I am making a class with an optional paramiter which will be a List<> paramiter. I want to set it's default value to null so I have used List<Params> Param = null. What am not 100% sure is checking the list to see if it was set to null or not. Is using:
if (Param == null)
.NET noob here (as in I know next to nothing, I'm trying to pick up some of the scraps left by my developer). Ok, I am getting this error on a number of my .aspx pages: Error while checking url '/': Key cannot be null. Parameter name: key Interestingly, I get this on my homepage on which the only .NET code is in the form of two includes, e.g: <% Response.WriteFile("/includes/footer.aspx") %> These includes in themselves only contain HTML, so I assume the issue can only be related to these or a configuration issue?

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'm having problems trying to get the value of a db field I've got on a page inside a GridView control.
Basically, I'd like to do something like this:
use this field value when writing to an xml element
How do I get this value? I don't seem to be able to get it from the TextField template field.
I have a requirement like, There is a grid that has multiple rows. On clicking the "add to list" button, the columns from this grid is added to list of tables where source for one table in this list is read from grid view. note that, the grid view and tables will be having just two columns but the rows added to each table might vary.
I trying to implement this using GridView inside a gridview option but looking for some lighter way to implement this.
I have to display a news component peice in our website's homepage. The news information (date and news) is retreived from the db and I have queried to retreive that info now. My question is really simple --> How do I display the news with the timestamp in this specific format:
Database has it in this format:
2010-06-21 00:00:00. ----News blah blah A
2010-06-18 00:00:00. -----News blah blah B
2010-05-21 00:00:00. -----News blah blah C
2009-04-15 00:00:00. -----News blah blah D
I need the above information to be displayed in the following format:
2010
June
06/21/2010 - News blah blah A
06/18/2010 - News blah blah B
May
05/21/2010 - News blah blah C
2009
April
04/15/2010 - News blah blah D
I am using labels like this and few date formats which would extract like this, but some coding to retreive the earliest news first depending on the yr / month and date would be great.
asp:Label
ID="Label1"
runat="server"
Text='<%#
Eval("EffectiveDate", "{0:yyyy}")%>'
Font-Names="timesNewRoman"
Font-Size="10pt"
ForeColor="black"
Font-Bold="true"></asp:Label></td>
i want to import gtalk in my page like way2sms.

the project I'm working on has become quite bigger then expected. And now I have pages containing about ten different GridViews (and it is likely to increase!!), each one with its own EditItemTemplate, ItemTemplate, FooterTemplate, style, properties, etc. And, of course, in the code-behind (C#) each Grid has its events handled. You can imagine: it is a mess, playing with visibility of each one, ImageButtons to hide them, further buttons for other actions. I decided to handle only events in the code behind, while using partial classes and additional classes for the rest of the code (SQL queries and everything else), but still, it's gettin a mess.
Well, my question is: is there a way to, how can I say, have a kind of separate files, where these objects are deployed, and from where I can reference them when running the application. Or, if it exists, a way to lighten aspx page and asp.cs pages. I know it's part of the job, so here the question is just intended to investigate whether a possibility to "distribute" the objects used in a web page exists.
I am try to create a website like you tube.
i fetch the images in a grid view.
and make a hyper link in it.
Now i want to pass the clicked image value to the ASPX page.
So how can I get the value of gridview clicked image in the ASPX page.
in my gridview i have a list of names that are bound.
in my aspx i have a list of names that i can select from.
i want to see if each selected name is already in the grid.
something like
if (li.Value == row.FindControl("Name").ToString())

I am retrieving records from database nearly 380 records and binding them to a repeater control.My page is taking long time to load. how to improve the performance and here is the code of my repeater.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%#Eval("Product_Path","~/Images\{0}") %>'
Height="70px" Width="70px" HeaderText="Product Image" OnClientClick="return OpenPopup() ;" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<script type="text/javascript">
function OpenPopup()
{
window.open(' ','mywindow','width=700, height=800');
return false;
}
</script>
I jast wants to access the ImageUrl value inside the Javascript's function OpenPopup() to open a new window to This URL. All Codes are residing in Same Page.
