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?

How would I convert an empty textbox.text to null when updating/inserting using an SqlCommand? I've got this to populate the textbox:

With Twitter's new OAuth interface, their API is now many times more complex than what it was. And I haven't even looked at Facebook's API yet.
What I'm wondering if there is a method that employs some higher-level, existing code or interfaces to make this a simpler task.
All I want to be able to do is initiate a Twitter tweet or Facebook share on the user's behalf and be able to control the initial text of those messages, from an ASP.NET application.
I found some similar questions on SO, but they had no answers. EDIT: I know there are things like AddThis and ShareThis, but I need something that will give me control over the default message. It must contain a link with a code that is specific to the current user.
I have a about 6 or 7 text boxes which needs to be validated to make sure they are not empty from server side code. So how I usually do this is, check each textbox 1 by 1 to ensure that they are not empty. Are there any other efficient methods to do this? I have searched on SO and have found out that adding all the textboxes to a list and using a for each is a much better method. Are there any other ways that this can be achieved? Thanx a lot in advance :)
View 2 RepliesI 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.
Is there any difference in using the following for checking for an empty control.
If txtBox1.text.tostring isnot string.empty then
vs.
If txtBox1.text.tostring <> string.empty
vs.
If txtBox1.tetxt.tostring <> "" then
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.

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?

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.

I have this code to check if the textbox is empty on lost focus. Setting IsAutoPostBack = True and using TexTChanged.
Code:
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text))
{

}
The problem is when I make any no changes on Textbox1 and goes to the next textbox, this code doesn't work. so I cant trace if the textbox is empty or not
I've been pickling my brain trying to do this for a couple of days but to no avail. I have the following in "FormView1" which I'm just using in insert mode:
<td class="style4">
<asp:TextBox ID="urlTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("url") %>' CausesValidation="True" Width="200px" />
</td>
I'd like the contents (i.e. whatever the user wants to insert) to be passed to a method where it will be checked against any existing values in the database.
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:

.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?
