Parse Value From Database Datareader And Handle Possible NULL Value?
Feb 16, 2011
I 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
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.
im using this bit of code to recieve data from a database. problem is if one off the values in the databass is null it kicks up an error how can i handle this so in the event of a null value it gives a "" string value
What i want to do is to read a value either null or not null from my oracle database using DataReader and store in a textbox. But i have an error.InvalidOperationExcepionHow can i avoid this error.Or is it possible to catch the exception to ignore null values read by the datareader?If the option is to catch the exception how may i do it?

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?

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]...
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)
If d.Text <> "" Then cmd.Parameters.Add("@date", SqlDbType.DateTime) cmd.Parameters("@date").Value = Date.Parse(d.Text)
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

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.
I 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 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 am trying to populate a listbox from an access database. It is a scheduling database. First my users pick a room they would like to add an event to, then a date. after the date is selected, id like the listbox to populate with meeting titles corresponding to the date they selected. The code so far looks like this:

I'm writing a program that needs to parse data from a SQLite Database, I have the reference DLL but I do not know the proper syntax for the actual parsing of the file. The reference I have is located at [URL]..I don't really see any code that would need to be given seeing as the code for that class is currently something link:
Imports System.data.SQLite public class SQLite public sub Retrieve_Data end sub public sub Connect2SQLite end sub end class
I have an email account that receives various requests to get free materials, for different items. These emails will usually contain name, item, quantity of item, address, state, zip. What makes it difficult is that all the emails are different, unstructured, and the data is usually buried in the emails, i.e. a forwarded email.I want a way to get all the information and parse it into a ms sql database.I know there are products that would work really well like url... but at work we can't afford this.I was thinking of creating a webservice that would input mail data posted from a third party site like cloudmail.com into a secondary website and then maybe creating a ruby script that would crawl the messages and extract addresses, etc. Anyone know of a good, simple alternative, a custom script in ruby, php, vb.net or possibly an open source solution?

I have a directory full of .txt comma delimited files arranged as shown below. What I want to do is to import each of these into a SQL or SQLite database, appending each one below the last. (1 table)... I am open to C# or VB scripting and just not sure how to accomplish this. I want to only extract and import the data starting BELOW the 'Feat. Type,Feat. Name, etc' line.
These are stored in a mynetworkdirectorystats folder on my network drive. Ideally I will be able to add functionality that will make the software/script know not to re-add the file to the database once it has already done so as well.
I need to parse a file name and compare to names in a data base. The file name has an underscore "_" as the delimiter. I need everything before the underscore.
I have several installations of my Linq-to-Sql app running in the field. Now I've created a new version, which adds a new column to a certain table. I've added this column in the dbml file. But when updating the installation, I want to preserve the existing database. How to handle this? Linq-to-SQL doesn't seem to like this inconsistency.Is there an easy way to update the existing database using my new dbml file?
I just want to parse simple expressions like IIF(FVAL(PFC) = TRUE, (IIF((ORGVAL(BAS, "2012/12/31") + ORGVAL(DA)) < 6500, (FVAL(BAS) + FVAL(DA)) * 12%, 780)), 0)`After parsing this I should be able to know what functions contains what parameters.
[Code]...
I'm stuck with .Net Framework 2.0, so no Linq or lambda expression goodies for me. Also I want to include the code in my custom library and not just reference it. Can anyone point me to some good library or code.
I just need to parse and not evaluate the expression and find what tokens are in use. After finding the tokens I need to change the expression string before parsing, like if the function ORGVAL is used then the parameter passed has has to be prefixed by an underscore. Like ORGVAL(BAS) will transform to ORGVAL(_BAS). Some functions can have tow parameters like ORGVAL(BAS, "2012/12/31") and this will transform to ORGVAL(_BAS, "2012/12/31")
NOTE: IF THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF DOING IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WOULD LOVE TO AVOID A PARSER AND LEXER.
