Remove A Null From A String?
Nov 4, 2009
This should be simple but apparently it's not. I have a text file, 694 bytes. At byte 500 there's a null in the file. I've tried reading it as text and binary and I end up with a string, 694 bytes long. But anyting I do with this string fails because it appears to stop at character 500. I can do a ? asc(mystring.substring(549,1)) and I get 9 (tab). Print character 550 and I get 0. Print character 551 and I get 32 (space). How do I get rid of this null?

I have a function that returns a byte(), the only problem is that the array most times is to long and has 4 or 5 excess null bytes. I want to remove them and tried everything, but I cant seem to find anything that works.

bytes ( 00 00 00 ) I'm trying to remove from a specific set of locations within a byte stream. The following code is what I'm using. I tried using the Trim function as listed in the code at the bottom but that had no effect. I'm extracting from a fixed byte range and there are null values after the end of valid ascii characters. Dim temp() As Byte = GetByteArray(FrameData, 3, 32)
Private Function GetByteArray(ByVal MyArray As System.Array, ByVal Start As Integer, ByVal Length As Integer) As Byte()

foreach (PropertyInfo PropertyItem in this.GetType().GetProperties()) {
PropertyItem.SetValue(this, objDataTable.Rows[0][PropertyItem.Name.ToString()], null);
}
In one of the loops i get this exceptional error:
Object of type 'System.DBNull' cannot be converted to type 'System.String'.
The error occurs because one of the fields in the database has no value (null), so the string property could not handle it. How can I convert this null to string? I'm trying to avoid checking on every loop is current value is null or not.

The user will select an entry in a gridview, which then redirects them to a form that is populated with the data from the selected row (thus making the gridview editable in a more user friendly way). Null values are accepted by the DB and I would like to show null date values as blank (or " ") in the corresponding text boxes. Instead I get the error:
Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid.
Here is my code:
'preceded by connection code
Dim sqlcmd As String = "SELECT * from Master WHERE RecNum = @recnum"
'Dim sqlCmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT * from Master WHERE RecNum = @recnum", connection)
Dim FileCommand3 As New OleDb.OleDbCommand(sqlcmd, connection)

I have the following code below which has an error. When the checkbox is set to true and for example change the "role", and click save the following error is given;
"Index was outside the bonds of the array".
I know the reason of the error but don't know the solution..
The TxtPayCont is a concatenation of title, fname, and lname in an array. Therefore, if all the fields have values, then it works fine. So if it is Mr Jones Tim, this works, but, if it is Mr Jones it does not. It has to have 2 spaces to work. Is there anyway round this...

If I send a String set to Nothing as an input parameter to a SQL stored procedure, and in the sproc it's like this @MyString Char(9) = NULL, what does it turn NULL into? Because I'm firing the sproc and it's not firing the statement that says IF @MyString = NULL... So I don't know what it is... Or how can I pass the string as a NULL if nothing is passed as a parameter to my calling function?

Currently, whenever I pass a string to the db, if that string is empty, then i set that object to NULL by doing the following:
IIf(DescriptionTxt.Text.length > 0, DescriptionTxt.Text, DBNull.Value)
I was thinking about writing a function to reduce the length of this code, and make it more consistent.However, I was wondering, is there already a way of doing this in .NET 3.5?

I am using a com object to maniplate data inside an external program using VB.NET. One of the methods this com object provides requires 1 string parameter.The external program, however, requires a sting of a specified length, regardless of the number of characters used. The string to be passed to the function (length 36) is a combination of the below key fields.[code]I have tried the VB6 compatability's VBFixedString type but the com object's method throws an exception due to a type mismatch.If I convert the VBFixedString back to a .NET string before passing it to the method, the first null character is again interpreted as a string terminator and the rest of my string is chopped.

By my logic, this should only assign .length to index IF the length of strItem is longer than 0. This check is there in case the listbox is empty, or the user has not selected an item. However, everytime I go through this code without an item selected I get:

I'm using FileHelper to generate object's property. Here is an example of one property:
<FieldOptional(), _
FieldTrim(TrimMode.Both)> _
<FieldNullValue(GetType(String), " ")> _
Public StoreNo As String
As you can see the StoreNo will either have a value or " ", one of the business policy is to check if the StoreNo is empty or nothing if the object's StoreNo is empty or null then the record will not create.
I though about creating an HasValue Function in the class to check the StoreNo and other properties in the object but I feel like it is a hack.
Public Function HasValue() As Boolean
Dim _HasValue As Boolean = True
If StringHelper.IsNullOrBlank(Me.StoreNo) Then
[Code]....
I don't think this approach is an ideal solution. what if the StoreNo is remove or change to something else. What's the best approach to check object's property?

I have a couple of textfields in a Windows form. One of these textfields is allowed to be NULL. When I enter a value for every field, it is all inserted, no problem. When I leave the field (txtGewicht) blank, I can't seem to be able to insert NULL in Access Database.
If Double.TryParse(txtGewicht.Text, 0) Then
klant.Gewicht = Double.Parse(txtGewicht.Text)
Else
[Code]....
This is what I get:
"Cannot set column 'Gewicht' to NULL, please use DBNull instead"
So I changed 'Nothing' to DBNull.value, but it then tells me that System.DBNull cannot be converted to type Double.

I'm receiving a byte array from a network device by using the TcpClient class and as I have no idea how much data will be being sent I have to just declare a buffer that is X number of bytes long and keep reading into that until I've got all of the data. I then convert this byte array to a string using Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString but the problem is that this gets any null bytes that were at the end of the buffer after the string and it includes them in the string. This then means when I do String.EndsWith it doesnt work as I would expect it to because there are just loads of 0 bytes at the end of the string.
Once I had realised that was what was happening (which took a long time as these null bytes are completely invisible when you are looking at the data in String form) I thought fine I'll just use Trim on the string but I've found that this doesnt make any difference at all. I thought Trim was supposed to remove any blank space from the start/end of a string, which I assumed would include empty bytes as well.
So is there any alternative I can use that will trim the empty bytes off the end or do I have to do it the 'manual' way and loop through my byte array before converting it to string and remove any null bytes? One thing that has just popped into my head as I'm typing this is to try using the Chr method and pass it 0 and combine that with Trim like so:

This must've have been asked before but I couldn't locate it. In a mixed code project (VB and C#) we were debugging some old Visual Basic code where a statement as follows could be found:
If Request.Params("xxx") <> "" Then
'do something
I considered this a bug as Request.Params could be null, in which case the statement would've become false which wasn't the idea. So I thought. I just found out, -- probably for the tenth time and I will keep forgetting -- that the following two statements are not equal, while Nothing in VB should be equal to null in C# (thought I):
if(String.Empty == null) // always false
If String.Empty = Nothing Then ' always true
Should I dismiss this as a typical Microsoft backward compatibility effort, or should I consider this a huge error in the VB.NET compiler? Does anybody know the Microsoftean opinion on this oddity?
