I am not sure why VB makes everything such a pain. I have a fields which stores the date and time in the format required to store in MySQL database
[Code]...
Now I need to assign the AppDate to NUll like DBNull, but I am not able to do it directly. If I change AppDate to Date then I am not getting the required format.
I have a little problem regarding the use of DBNull, NULL etc. in VB.net in combination with SQL Server 2k.
More specifically, I want to do something along the lines of this:If x = 0 Then
x = DBNull.Value where x is declared by Dim x as Object. I would rather use Double, but I can't assign DBNull.Value to this, and using Object works quite well, too. But every time I hit this condition, I get an exception: A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll This is not a major show-stopper, since the database value I write x to in the next step, is NULL by default - most of the time! So I need the ability to write NULL to it. If that was not the case, I would have been able to work around this by catching exceptions, I think - but sadly, this isn't really of use then.
Pulling a record from the DB and populating a list view but keep getting conversion from DBNull to Single is invalid (words to that effect). The code is below with bold highlighting where problem is and a bit more helpful description of error. I get this error: "Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Single' is not valid." [Code]
View 17 RepliesI tried DbNull.Value but no luck. How do I assign a default value as null to a string parameter that is null in VB.NET? Its litte strange to see that VB does not have anything like plain null as most of the other languages do. Also what is the difference between null and DbNull and Nothing.

If you assign a value to a nullable integer via a ternary operator, it can't become null..While this question may seem like a duplicate of many, it is actually being asked for a specific reason.Take this code, for example: Dim n As Integer? = If(True, Nothing, 1) In that code, the ternary expression should be returning Nothing, but it's setting n to 0. If this were C#, I could say default(int?) and it would work perfectly. Now it looks like I am going to have to ditch the ternary and use a regular If block, but I really want to use the ternary. If Nothing were truly VB.NET's equivalent to C#'s default, how can you explain this behavior?

View 5 RepliesI have a property called ReplacementTo and I set a value to it based on the selecteditem from the combobox, like this:
classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString
Now I can't use cmbReplcmnt.Text because what I actually need is the value of that SelectedItem
So problem is, if the user leaves the combobox as blank, it throws a null exception.I decided to use the IIf function then:classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = IIf(IsNothing(cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString), classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = "", cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString)
Unfortunately I still get the error I tried using a Try-Catch for it and it worked, but I don't want to rely on the Try-Catch, so I was wondering is there a another way to work this through?

When I put a break point to the last if clause in the sub ("If (backOrder < 0) Then", see below) it runs until the break point, if I put the break point further below, I get the following error:
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'OrderID', table 'WHM.dbo.OrderDetails'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.
I've discovered first hand that it only happens when prodqty is bigger then qtyOnStock, thus executing the if clause.

I am teaching myself vb.net with visual studio 2010 and i have ran into a wall. I have a datagrid on my form that shows all of my customers that are in the dataset that was created in access 07. I have a search bar and check boxes to select which column name to search in. Whenever I search it throws up a strong typing exception,
System.Data.StrongTypingException was unhandled by user code
Message=The value for column 'PickupTime' in table 'CustomerRouteTable' is DBNull.

I think this means that there is nothing in the field, but this is a field that nothing should be in. If i comment the throw exception out it moves on to the next one that has nothing in the field. I tried just putting 0's in all of them but it still gives the same exception.

Dim k as nullable(of double)I am INSERTING a rec in database containing K (sometimes it has some value otherwise a null) It works ok.But when i UPDATE a rec and assign a field the value of k and when k is NULL
it gives me an error that you cannot assign a NULL , you should use DBNULL.But i think DBNULL.value can only be assigned to an object not to double.
