VS 2008 CellValidating - Cannot Convert A DBNULL Value To STRING
Nov 2, 2009I am having a problem with the DIM statement. It is saying that it can not convert a DBNULL value to STRING even though there is something in the cell.

I'm a new member to this site, and I have been searching for a solution to this problem.. Although I have found variations in the problem, nothing has seemed to work for me. Just started programming last year.
I am trying to populate text boxes in a form based on information from an Access Database. Everything is working, except when there are empty field values; the program then crashes because a DBNull value is returned. I set up an if statement to check the index as the rows are read for DBNull values, the problem is How do I actually change the value in the field from DBNull to a blank string ("") ?? Everything I try gives me an error, most often saying something about setting up an object. The problem happens within my if statement of the do loop...I'm thinking maybe I need to set up parameters ? Or an actual edit session within a datarow variable?[code]...
I've created a small WPF app in VB9 to catalog our sizable DVD collection. This exercise has been more about learn programming than the need to have a movie database app, but I digress.The SQL database I created has a field for "Genre" that does not have an entry for all the movies in our collection. As such, when I run the method that filters the movie listing by "Genre" the compiler throws the "StrongTypingException was unhandled" error stating "The value for column 'Genre' in table 'Movies' is DBNull.".
I now understand where the DBNull problem comes from and have been searching for several hours to find a VB solution that converts the DBNull fields to strings on the fly during the LINQ query. I've found many solutions people have tried but, since I'm quite new to all this, none of them have worked for me. Pasted below is the method that throws the exception.

I am trying to populate a textbox.text with a value with a record from a datagrid. I can get my value from the datagrid by the following
Dim eRow As Integer
eRow = datagrid.CurrentRow.Index
txtSelecteditem.Text = datagrid.Item(0, eRow).Value
This all works fin when there is a value in the cell it is picking up. However, I hit a problem when this filed is blank.
The error I get is: Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid.
How can I get the textbox to populate with null if the field is null.
I wants to ask how to convert DBNull to Date type?
For Each row As DataRow In dt.Rows

array(i + 10) is datetime type, in the program above, if the Datetime column contains items, it still can run. However, when it loops to a row where the Datetime column does not have value of datetime (or the column is null), then an error " Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid" is occured. I tried to use the if statements as program above but it seems like cannot works.
how can I solve this error without having to fill all of my fields. Some of the fields in my database are Nulls and some have records.

I am importing an Excel spreadsheet, turning it into a dataset and inserting the results into SQL Server (only 100 rows).
I am having an issue with one of the date columns in Excel, which can have a value or not. The "F" column is the one that may be blank and this is the error I get: Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid.
How can I add a check to the Dim F As Date = CDate(row(5)) to handle a null?

I'm also pulling info from the bios, disk drives, video, etc. What I've noticed, is although it runs fine on my pc, it may error out on some pcs since it is hardware dependent.I'm having trouble implementing a check to find if it exists before I convert to a string and add it to my overall string.
I have an update statement under RowLeave event of my datagridview. Before I update it I need to validate the cell if there is an empty value. But whenever I moved the focus to another row, RowLeave is called first before CellLeave/CellValidating.Is there another way of validating the cell when leaving a row?
Note: Leaving a cell in the same row is not a problem.
I have a datagridview that I would like to validate using the cellvalidating event. however as the user doesnt navigate between cells or rows in the datagridview. just enters data in a cell in the datagridview and then clicks a save button the cellvalidating event doesnt get fired.

How do I rewrite the Select clause, to convert a DBNull value to a blank string ""?
Dim query = From row As myDataSet.myDataRow in myDataSet.Tables("MyData") _
Select row.FirstName, row.LastName
NOTE: Since the DataSet is strongly-typed. I can use row.isFirstNameNull(), but IIF(row.isFirstNameNull(), "", row.FirstName) will not work since all parameters are referenced.

I handle the validation in the CellValidating event, and if the cell is invalid display an error message, then cancel the exit of edit mode. However I would also like to erase the content of the cell currently in edit mode.
