View 5 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.
I have a problem:
I've created usual Controller and View(Edit view) for editing my Entity (EntityFramework)
Here is view example:
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.BirthDate)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.BirthDate)
</div>
BirthDate is Nullable<DateTime>
but during loading my View I get this exception
The model item passed into the dictionary is null, but this dictionary requires a non-null model item of type 'System.DateTime'.
That's because of BirthDate is null in database but it is nullable and I expect that it just leaves the filed empty.
And I have Shared EditorTemplate:
@model System.Nullable<System.DateTime>
@if (Model.HasValue)
this is my sql query and its work fine in my code but it only check ParentDeptID IS NULL it not working when ParentDeptID field is empty how can i check it
("select DeptID,DeptName,(select count(*) FROM HrDept " _
& "WHERE ParentDeptID=sc.DeptID) childnodecount FROM HrDept sc where ParentDeptID IS NULL ", _
objConn)
I have a
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "starttime") % >
i.e. starttime is field in mysql which i bind to asp:Repeater. and want to print as <span>Start Time:
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "starttime") %> </span>
if starttime is not blank ..and if blank, print nothing.. How to do this in asp.net ...
I would like to enquire about a seemingly basic problem that i am struggeling with. I have been trying to add information to an access database and as i am inserting this information I get the error message stating that I tried to assign the Null value to a variable that is not a Variant type. I was thinking that it could have something to do with the primary key being set to automatic number but this also does not seem the problem.

I prefer to solve this problem at application rather than db level. NOTE: DueDate in database is of type datetime. I'm coding in C# interacting with Sql-Server. I hope my question is clear enough.

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?
Inside a function I need to check to see if a variable value is null, how to do this? I implemented the code but its not returning the value I thought it would return.If it's null I want to set the value of the variable, else I want to query the value from a table

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 use FormView with ObjectDataSource and class. I have a TextBox binded to a DateTime? property. When TextBox.Text property is empty i want to set the property of my class to null but the value is 1.1.1 00:00:00. My Workaround:
[Code]....
Is there a way to set this property to null without this workaround? Is this a bug in DataSource or is this a feature by design?
