I have asp.net form with C#, where is I am taking user information to insert in the database as usual by using Linq. well. Where as I am taking Date of birth also from the user, but if user skip to fill date text box from ui, then I am getting date like '01/01/0001' something like this, which certainly database security would not allow to store it.
So I need to check somewhere in my code that it is null or in this (above given) format. If it is null or in format '01/01/0001' then what exactly I have to do? I don't have any default
value for dates.
So what is the standard way to handle if date is null (but not mandatory). So many times I found myself in trap while handling null for various types.
how do u handle dates in mvc when request is a http GET? I remember some discussoin on this last year but cant find the posts.. things like culture unaware, splitting the date field to 3 text fields insted of 1.
for eg i hav a datetime field called Completion date which temporarily has a null value and when i display the records using a gridview it displays a default date...how do i get rid of this default date.the completion Date gets entered at a later stage in the application following which the gridview should show this date....but initially it shouldn't show anything
What if a user hits my site with [URL]t rather than [URL] In other words, they do not specify a value for {id}. If they do not, I want to display a nice "Not Found" page, since they did not give an ID.Is there a more standard MVC framework way of handling this, rather than the code I presently use (see below), where I test accept a nullable int? and then for null? Surely there is a smoother way to handle this.
I have a problem while checking a hashtable value. In the code below I am storing 60 values in the hashtable "hash". One of the values is (or can be) Null. I am checking each entry against its corresponding entry in hashtable "hash1", to see if they match each other. If they don't match I want to check if the value in "hash" is Null, but I can't catch it - it's falling through the 'else' part). How can I overcome this problem?
I need to retrive a value from a column of a table per stored proc. This is usually an integer, but also can be null. I get this value and store it in a session variable.
Later, I need to pass this same session variable to another stored proc.
Session["myVariable"] = ds.tables[0].rows[0][1]; // this can be null or an integer
somewhere else in the project, I need to pass it to another stored proc exactly as received.
I get a recordset returned from DB and try to load it. However sometimes field "LastRun" may be empty (NULL). when i have this it compiles fine but errors out when value is null m_LastRun = Convert.ToDateTime(r["LastRun"]); when I take out Convert.ToDateTime it doesn't even compile.
I'm using a custom ashx HttpHandler to retrieve gif images from a database and show it on a website - when the image exists, it works great.
However, there are cases when the image will not exist, and I'd like to have the html table holding the image to become invisible so the "image not found" icon is not shown.

I have a class with properties for stuff like FileNumber, OpenedDate, ClosedDate etc.When I Initialise the class I set the datetime variables to Date.MinValue.Then when I populate my textboxes I check if the value of the date variables are Date.Minvalue and I set the textbox text to an empty string.
Code: If(File.OpenedDate = Date.MinValue, String.Empty, File.OpenedDate.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd")) However whe I try to save the data to my sql server db I get a datetime out of range error. What is the correct way to handle these null values in my date columns?
I am converting my datatable to LISt using LINQ how do I handle nulls coming from database
List<Port> portDetails = new List<Port>(); DataTable dt = ds.Tables[0]; portDetails = (from q in dt.AsEnumerable() select new Port { PortCode = q.Field<string>("Code"), ExtCode = q.Field<string>("Nb"), Name = q.Field<string>("Name")) }).ToList();
In the above query if Code is null I do not want property portcode to be set to the value it should only set if it is not null or not blank PortCode = q.Field<string>("Code"),
What should be syntax I was trying somethign like this which doesnt work Portcode = q.Field<bool>("Code") == null ? null : q.Field<bool>("Code")
I have a query that averages data in 15 minute increments that I display in a chart using Microsoft Chart Controls. Everything works fine except when there is no data for a 15 minute increment. How do I get the chart to show just the empty time slot?
I am using the DetailsView Control to read a LastUpdatedDate field (which can be null until an update is performed) from the database. The LastUpdatedDate is of type DateTime saved in UTC. With the DetailsView control, I can use the NullDisplayText property of the boundfield to safely display an custom message. However, once converted to a template field, that property is lost. Now, how would I display that message if the field is null as I am also formatting the date for display to show in local time.
I've got a detailsview control on a page. The table that it interacts with has a DateTime column in it. This column is nullable, and a lot of the records have null for that value. In the EditItemTemplate I've got a calendar control. When I try to put the DetailsView into edit mode, I get the following error message:
System.InvalidCastException was unhandled by user code Message=Specified cast is not valid. Source=App_Web_srpmlyjd StackTrace: at ASP.entries_aspx.__DataBinding__control44(Object sender, EventArgs e) in c:inetpubwwwrootMediaLibraryEntries.aspx:line 103 at System.Web.UI.Control.DataBind(Boolean raiseOnDataBinding) at System.Web.UI.Control.DataBindChildren()
I am convinced that the problem is the null values in the DateTime column of the table. I've done some web searches on this, and some have suggested placing some dummy values into that column, but that seems more like a kludge, rather than a solution. How do I keep nulls in the table, and yet not have that preceeding error come up when a user tries to edit the selected record?
I need some pointers to start on this.We are building a time off application where three instances of a calendar control will be displayed ( prev - current and next month) now users can click on various dates accross all three instances and then a count of number of days should be diaplyed in the parent textbox.
To begin with this, i started with adding the dates clicked by the user in Calendar2_SelectionChanged method into a list<> so that i can get the all dates user clicked and then add it to calander's selected dates collection. But this throws an e" object reference not set" error.
Is there anyother way to get all the dates that user click onthe calendar( note the dates doesn't get highlighed so seleteddates doesnt work)does anyone has a good example for this.
this code give that solution.but if any one of the field have null(example:r.urrQuickLinkRights contain the NULL) then only it will throw error like Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
i want to use a ajax calender extender in which when user clixcks on button caleder show only dates of current month not previous dates.i dont want to disable dates. i should not apper on current month calender. means it should start from 1 and end to 30 or 31
In the detailsview, I set a edit item template (a bounded dropdownlist control). But in database there are some data not set to a value (null). After clicking edit button in detailsview control I get the error about the value problem (Because after populating the dropdownlist, there is no item as null in it. )How to set dropdownlist selected index when the data is "null"?
