I've got a subquery that returns the most recent value from a child table. In some cases the subquery returns nothing. The query below fails at runtime because the inferred type of MemberPrice is decimal and is not nullable. [code]...

SELECT EqID, MakeID, Model, Description,
(SELECT MAX(EvDateEnd) AS MaxOfDateEnd
FROM tblEvent WHERE (EqID = tblEquip.EqID) AND (Event = 'REG')) AS RegExpire,
[code]....
For example, I want to get the Max EvDateEnd from the Events table for each record in tblEquip, but not all records in tblEquip have the "REG" event, while others have multiple REG events.Some events (like EAE) I leave the tblEvent.EvDateEnd field blank to show the event is open and ongoing, such as issuing a vehicle to an employee(entity). when the vehicle is returned I enter the date in EvDateEnd essentially closing the event.
I'm trying to query old Access database tables and compare them with SQL Server tables.They often don't have primary keys, or they have extra fields that had some purpose in the nineties, etc., or the new tables have new fields, etc.I need to find records - based on a set of fields specified at runtime - that are in one table but not another.So, I do this kind of query all the time in SQL, when I'm comparing data in different tables:
dim fields_i_care_about as string = "field1, field2, field3"
'This kind of thing gets set by a caller, can be any number of fields, depends on the
'table
dim s as string= ""

It tells me it can't convert a Boolean - Is there any way to do this without Linq expressions? They seem far more complex than what I'm trying to do here, and they take a lot of code, and also I can't seem to find examples of Expressions where we're comparing two fields in a subquery.Is there a simpler way? I know I could do the usual EXISTS query using JOIN or IN - in this case I don't need the query to be super fast or anything. And I don't need to use a DataTable or DataSet - I can put the data in some other kind of object.

I read stuff from a SQL DB (database) using a data set. Some of the columns in the DB may contain NULL. I want to go through the table in the dataset and print, or use in some other way, the data. But when I try to use a certain data that corresponds to a NULL in the DB my program crashes.How can I detect - in the dataset - that it has no value and that I shouldn't try to use it?

What are NULL values? Sometimes when I try to assign a query to variable, I get error saying:
Type-Cast-Error. txtMiddleName.Text = Reader.GetString(2)
How can I put it that if the value of the Middle is nothing then txtMiddleName.Text = "". Working on VS 2010 (VB.net) EDIT 1: This is the error Message I get (Line 364 is the above mentioned code)
On a ASP.net form, I need to add a textbox to update a date field in MS SQL server via stored procedure. I want to verify user input cant figure out the correct syntax to do so (please see below)

I need to round and print a price like below, but this does not handle null values.How can I handle null values on one line of code? DBRSet is an SQLDataReader and the price is money
<%= Math.Round(DBRSet("price"))%>
I have about 200 .aspx pages of this so I could also use some tips on how to change these in an easy way? Can I do a search and replace with a reg-exp or something like that?
In a WinForms app (VS2008 / .Net Framework 3.5) I bind data from SQL Server to controls. If there's a null value e.g. an employee has no middle name (allowed by business rules), when I browse that record at runtime an exception is thrown. So I code: If Not (row("middle_name") Is DbNull.Value then txtMiddleName.DataBindings.Add(New Binding("Text", row, "middle_name)). Say someone adds a middle name to this record, because the control had no databindings the dataset.HasChanges property is false and update stored proc doesn't run. I guess I could handle this like this: If txtMiddleName.Databindings.Count = 0 AndAlso txtMiddleName.Text <> "" Then row("middle_name") = txtMiddleName.Text. I guess I would have to do something similar to handle a value changing from not null to null.
View 8 RepliesI have run into this problem a few times and have never come up with a good answer. I figure others must have dealt with this already.I have a datareader returned from the database and I want to use the values therein however values may or may not contain NULL. I would like to have a unction that takes in the value from the datareader and returns the value if it is not NULL and blank space if it is NULL.The problem I have is that the data-type of the variable I am testing is variable. It can be a String, and Integer or a DateTime. Can anyone suggest a simple way to test the value and then return the original value (as same data-type if possible) or something else if it is NULL
View 5 RepliesI am using KeyPressEventArgs to restrict several text boxes to numeric entries only. Rather than repeat the code, I thought I would make a "RestrictToNumeric" subroutine and call it from each "KeyPress" event. Like So:
Private Sub txt1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txt1.KeyPress
RestrictToNumeric()
End Sub
[code].....
The problem I am encountering is that the variable 'e' is used before it has been assigned a value, causing a null reference at runtime.
So I tried to add Dim e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs As?to the RestrictToNumeric sub.I cannot figure out what I need to "Dim" it as...
I am reading dates from a table in a database to display in a DataGridView column that is formatted as a date. The problem is that when the value is null in the database my program errors out because it cant convert the value to a date. How do you guys handle this? *Edit: If I set the value of my date variable to "Nothing" it displays as "1/1/0001" in my DataGridView, and I would like the cell to be empty for the null dates.
View 24 RepliesIn the following linq query I have a division by zero exception wich I can't seem to code around. It occurs when the Sum of fldDevider returns 0.[code]...
How can I Make sure the ValuePerMonth field is 0 when the Group.Sum(Function(dr) CDec(dr.Field(Of String)(fldDevider))) function returns a 0. Or how do I return a 1 for Sum fldDevider if it is actually 0.
This is what I'm doing to select and display 3 columns of my datatable in GridView:
Dim myCustomers = From Cust In myDataset.Customers _
Select CustomerId = Cust.CustomerId, _
CustomerName = Cust.CustomerName, _
ExpiryDate = Cust.ExpiryDate
DataGridView1.DataSource = myCustomers.ToList
The expiry date has null values in many records whose expiry date is not set.On executing the query I get runtime error:System.Data.StrongTypingException "The value for column 'ExpiryDate' in table 'Customers' is DBNull."
Obviously, my LINQ query is wrong or incomplete, but I am not able to figure the way to do it correctly.
I have the following query, I'd like to sum the NULL value also. Some TimeSheet don't records in TimeRecord and some tr.TimeIn and tr.TimeOut are NULL.The query select only TimeSheet that has reords in TimeRecord. How I can have it select everything, and sum up the NULL value as well. So, the SUM of NULL will be just zero.

I have an RDLC report that I am rendering directly to the Response Stream as PDF (rather than using the ReportViewer). In the code that renders the report, it's DataSource is bound to a List(Of ClassA) objects defined in a custom assembly. This seems to work for the most part. My problem is that I can't seem to handle the situation where a nested object is null. For example, given ClassA and ClassB (the nested object) defined as follows:
Public Class ClassA
Public Id As Integer
Public Name As String
[Code]....
the report displays "#Error" if TheNestedObject is null. If TheNestedObject is not null, it correctly displays the Name.

I have a DataSet where I need to filter the collection where one of the date columns is not null.
How do you term this in LINQ?
This is what I have so far but there is a compiler error on the w.CompletedDate field in the Where clause.
Dim completed = From ins In InspectionDataset.Inspection.AsEnumerable _
Where (Function(w) w.CompletedDate IsNot Nothing) _
Order By ins.Field(Of DateTime)("UpdatedDate")
I have also tried it the below way but the compiler will not allow the DBNull comparison.
Dim completed = From ins In Inspection.AsEnumerable _
Where ins.Field(Of DateTime)("CompletedDate") <> DBNull.Value _
Order By ins.Field(Of DateTime)("UpdatedDate")
I have a table with the below structure.
ID VALUE
1 3.2
2 NULL
4 NULL
5 NULL
7 NULL
10 1.8
11 NULL
12 3.2
15 4.7
17 NULL
22 NULL
24 NULL
25 NULL
27 NULL
28 7
I would like to get the max count of consecutive null values in the table.
I am finding this weird issue. When I do this > activities.Where(Function(a) (Not a.IsDeleted And a.ParentId = 100) It returns an in-memory query & when I try opening it up, it throws a object not set exception. This only happens when there were no items which satisfied the condition. Shouldn't it be returning an empty set? When there are items satisfying the condition, then it returns a list & works all good.
View 1 RepliesI've got what I think is a working left outer join linq query but I'm having problems with the select because of null values in the right hand side of the join.[code]I want to return all of e and one column from c called tClassCode. I was wondering what the syntax would be. As you can see I'm using vb.net.[code]If i remove the c.tClassCode from the select the query runs without error. So i though perhaps i needed to do a select new but i don't think i was doing that correctly either.

I am fetching all departments and their sales, average, count from the ReceiptLine, Receipt, ReceiptDiscount tables.

View 6 RepliesI've got a table that caches calculated values for certain dates. I want to use LINQ to select all rows where the calculated value fields are null.But when I use isNothing I get an error that LINQ can't translate this into T-SQL. Is there a way to select null values with link, like this...?
Dim var = From rec As Record In myDataContext.Records Where IsNothing(rec.calculatedValue) Select rec
Other posts on stackoverflow mostly discuss how to avoid or check for null values with LINQ.
Note: I can't just set cacluatedValue's default to -1 to flag records whose calculated value has not been set (and then select those records) because I run queries that sum/average the calculated values. Selecting nulls seems cleaner and less bug-prone.
I have a simple query as below:
Dim sizings = From a In db.Sizings
Where a.Customer.ID = customer.ID
Select a
If sizings.Any Then
.....
The sizings.Any line is throwing a null reference exception. I thought I was meant to use .Any to determine if there were any rows returned?isnothing(sizings) returns false.
Edit - Resolution:Don't use null objects in the LINQ Query!
I know this topic is all over the place, but I am not doing an INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE. My statement is a plain and simple SELECT statement and so far has worked with 116 different items in my database until I got to one.
I have a search engine and am going through every single product in our database to add information to it. This is all done through the website, but when I search for ProductID 331 and click on it, it goes to the error page that says Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
It doesn't make any sense to me that the website would error with only this one product. This is the statement I am using. Does anyone know why 1 product would be causing this error?
