So I'm importing Excel data using ADO into a DataTable then pushing out to an Access DB. A couple of the Excel columns have several blank cells that I would like to change to a zero before pushing it out. How can I check/change the DT null values to zero? I've done some searching but was wondering if I could do it without a loop.

In this example, an error is raised if either row.FirstName or row.LastName are NULL.
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 am creating a form that is able to update data in SQL server after selecting an MS Access file (.mdb). I am having an issue where the data has a single quote ('). I found out that the solution was to use Replace() - to replace the single quote with two single quotes - Replace(string, "'", "''").Now, for some reason, I am getting an error "Conversion from type DBNull to type String is not valid." Here is the code.
cmd = New SqlCommand("Update Child Set " & _
"TopLevelProject = '" & row("TopLevelProject") & "' ," & _

The file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.

I'm working on a timekeeping application in Visual Basic 2008 and am having trouble formatting a timespan for display. Here's how I want to the information:If a positive number my Label will be: lblTimespan.txt will show as "12 Hours And 15 Minutes" This works fine.If its a negative number I want to display it as "(12 Hours And 15 Minutes)'[ in red. The problem is that I can't get rid of the minus sign. [code] Thr Replace doesn't seem to want to replace the "-", can anyone suggest what to do?
View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of object variables which are all initialised in their declarations such that:
Private _myObject As New ThisObject("SomeString")
where ThisObject is one of a number of object types, but all are initialised using a string.
I would like to use the Visual Studio Find/Replace dialog box to search for "As New" then replace everything from "As New" to the first set of speech marks with some text such that:

My original example could be solved using other methods. This example is more representative of the actual problem:

I am trying to think of a regex replace to replace double quotes with nothing. Example:
hello("hi there") would become hello(hi there)
"hi" would become hi
"example "3" would become example "3
-edit Maybe an easier way to explain this is, replace all " that do not have a backslash before them.
I am trying to filter out all unwanted characters from a string. All I want in the string is letters A-Z, numbers 0-9 as well as comma (,) plus (+) and quotes (").I figured how to do the letters and numbers, but the 3 special characters are giving me a problem. I also tried with the Chr(34) equivelant for the " sign, but no luck, as and " or , messes up the way the code is read. Here�s what I have so far, but it only works for A-Z and 0-9:
STR = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(STR, "[^A-Z, 0-9, Chr(43) ]", "")
How can I specify in my string that I want to replace occurrences of ALL characters and replace them with a specified character? Something like this:
'assuming currentWord is a string that contains any word
_myWord = CurrentWord.Replace("a-z,A-Z", "*")
I am using replace function to replace a character in the file
sw.WriteLine(Regex.Replace(strLine, "\", Chr(13)))
This code is working fine, but now I want to replace two times and I want to use the replace function twice. Something like this, but it is not working . Can anyone tell me how to use Replace function multiple times?
sw.WriteLine(Regex.Replace(strLine, "\", Chr(13)).Replace(strLine, Chr(13), ""))
Suppose i have two strings which is given below.
CODE:
Where ever i find , it should be replaced one blank line and " replace by "

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.
I am receiving this error on this line

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.
I need to make something like :
if isdbnull(value) or value = something then
'do something

I am writing a program that pulls data from a database.For each table that I pull data from, I write a series of If Than Else Statments to catch any null values and assign Nothing so as not to throw an exception.Is there a way to check against a DBNull value without writing an If THan Else Statment for each column I am pulling from the database?

I've got the following LINQ Statement:[code]invRecord.Pack_Num is a field of type Integer. This means that when I try to access it, if it is DBNull I get a StronglyTypedException. The above code throws this exception. If, however, I remove the "invRecord.Pack_Num = PSNum" and in its place put something like "True", the code works fine. So I guess my question is, why is that that invRecord.IsPack_NumNull() returns False when the value is in fact DBNull and what can I use as a conditional instead? I've been beating my head against the wall for a while now and I can't find a solution to this problem.
