Sql Select Statement In Vb Returning Value When Its Supposed To Be Null?
Apr 3, 2012
My code seems to behave a way I don't understand. Sometimes it returns null as expected and sometimes it returns a value when its supposed to be null. How can someone explain this? Here is the code that selects from access and displays the result in a messagebox:
cmd5.Connection = cnn
cmd5.CommandText = "SELECT receipt_num " & _
"FROM brought_coffee, farmer where crop_year= " & yr & " and " & _
"brought_date=#" & dtt & "# and farmer_centre='" & ctr & _
[code]....

I am still a newbie with VB. If I return a number the if statement works fine, with opening the new form and updating it as needed. Id the if statement returns a Null from the database it crashes.

Having trouble importing a value from a .csv file to a .csv file. This this done because data needs to be massaged and the data file renamed. This is a user interface. Do not want to have the user touch the .csv in any way except upload to the application so the applicaiton can do manipulation. Either way here is the issue.
There is a column in the original .csv file that contains a zip code. The first row of the .csv has a value of 17003 in the zip code column. In the second row of the .csv the zip code column has a value of 11746-9984. The value in the zip code column from the second row always comes back as a Null value. My guess is that the OleDbDataAdapter is defining some kind of Schema. Again, the first row containing the zip code column probably insists the value must be numeric. When the data table field is established it probably gets defined as numeric. If that is true and the second row of the .csv zip code column is not numeric that must cause the zip code value to be Null.[code]...

I have this simple-minded query:
select a.str_number+' '+a.str_name+' '+a.str_suffix+' '+a.str_apt AS addr from mytable
This query works as long as none of the concatenated values are not NULL. If any is null, the address does not show.
I tried this:
select IsNULL(a.str_number+' '+a.str_name+' '+a.str_suffix+' '+a.str_apt AS addr,'') from table
What I would like to accomplish is to replace NULL with empty space if the value is null but I still get no values.

I typed this question once already, hit preview, and somehow never got the preview and lost what I typed. It has been that kind of a day.So here is my quick overview then I am going shopping. I am using OLE DB to select from an excel spreadsheet. It has over 15000 rows and 33 columns. Sometimes even when a cell is not null, it is returning a null value. If I just do a "select * where [termination date] is not null", for example, it will return no rows even though I can see with my own eyes that sometimes termination date is not null.

This may seem like a dumb question, but how do you set a default date for the datetimepicker or set today's date as default in the table?
For some reason the control (every instance I've inserted so far) returns a null value when I try to update rows without selecting or entering a specific date while the program is running. The date columns are required, and in at least one case I need the date to automatically return today's date.
In the properties I have chosen "values" for today's date, past dates, even future dates, but I keep getting the following error:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Data.NoNullAllowedException' occurred in System.Data.dll
When I review the details, VS tells me that the date column in question does not allow nulls. If I select a date while running the program, I don't get this error, so it seems like the default value is not getting set.

I have this function correctly linked in an external .js file...
function SubmitAge(age, UpdatePanelID, HiddenAgeID) {

Why on earth is HiddenAgeId, clearly passed just like UpdatePanelID, is returning an "Undefined identifier Error"??? its perplexed me to the point where i have no room to move! have i missed something guys?edit: Update: turns out it works perfectly (as it should) when i load it up in FireFox, but has the resulting error in Internet Explorer, this is not a browser compatibility issue, it should also work in IE, but it doesn't!

I am finding this weird issue. When I do this > activities.Where(Function(a) (Not a.IsDeleted And a.ParentId = 100) It returns an in-memory query & when I try opening it up, it throws a object not set exception. This only happens when there were no items which satisfied the condition. Shouldn't it be returning an empty set? When there are items satisfying the condition, then it returns a list & works all good.

In my VB.NET application when I try to get the image location using picturebox.ImageLocation (path), it is returning null. I have to use that path string in filestream's parameter to open it. Since it is returning null, I couldn't open the file (image) in filestream. The following error is coming:
"Path cannot be null"
This is my code:
Dim path As String = Picturebox1.ImageLocation
Dim filestrm As FileStream = New FileStream(path, FileMode.Open)
Dim arry(filestrm.Length - 1) As Byte
filestrm.Read(arry, 0, filestrm.Length)

I am trying to call an external C++ function using VB.NET (answers in C# are fine, I can convert back) which returns a list of device names. This comes in the form of a pointer to a null-terminated array of null-terminated char arrays (correct me if I've misunderstood what I'm dealing with) with a function signature:
long GetNames(char*** names)
Most of the answers to similar questions I've found have involved something more like:
long GetNames(char** names, int length)
It appears from what I've read that I need to give it an IntPtr but I'm uncertain as to how this should be initialized, and in my case I don't know the length of the array. At the moment, in the VB module, I have:
<DllImport("MyExternal.dll", CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl)> _
Function GetNames(ByRef names as IntPtr) As UInteger
End Function
I've tried calling the function by passing an IntPtr initialized as IntPtr.Zero or using Marshall.AllocHGlobal, but I always get an AccessViolationException.
Any ideas on how I should be calling this function and how I get the return value into a managed string array would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I've found a sample function call in native C as follows:
char **tmplist;
GetNames(&tmplist)

I've just been burned again by the fact that there is no compiler warning when you fail to return a result in a Function that returns a Value type. I wrote the function:
Public Function CompareTo(ByVal other As MessageIndex) As Integer Implements System.IComparable(Of MessageIndex).CompareTo
Me._messageIndex.CompareTo(other._messageIndex)
End Function
which performs the CompareTo Function for two integers, then throws the result away and returns 0, because I forgot to either assign a value to CompareTo, or use Return, and that isn't flagged by the compiler because it's valid VB for a Value type.
I happen never to use "FunctionName = ReturnValue" because it hides information from maintenance programmers and also because I think it's insane .
Is there any way I can get the compiler to issue a warning whenever my Functions are missing a Return, whether it's a Value type or not?

Now that I've switched over to parameterized queries, everything is great except along with handling all the special characters that would otherwise disrupt an all text SQL stament, it's handling the word NULL. My code basically does this for every variable used in the entire SQL statement:
If strCallName = "" Then
strCallName = "NULL"
End If
[Code]...
and that worked great for my old all text ones because leaving the word NULL out of single quotes would tell it yeah, that's actually null and pass it a true null value. Now with parameterized ones, it's literally passing it the word NULL I tried just leaving the string empty but then when I try to execute the command, it says that the parameter cannot be a zero length string. So how do you give a null value to a a parameterized query and make it actually send that to the database in the statement? Would strCallName = vbNull work or would it still say it's a zero length string?

I want to select all records in a table and only 1 field in 2 related tables so my query is:
strSQL = "SELECT CL.Name, CL.FirstName, T1.Description, T2.Description " & _
" FROM Clients CL, Table1 T1, Table2 T2 " & _
" WHERE CL.Tab1Cod = T1.Code " & _
" AND CL.Tab2Cod = T2.Code"
All works and all records are selected only if fields CL.Tab1Cod and CL.Tab2Cod contain data but if one or both contain NULL value then NO record are selected. how can I test in a query statement if a filed contains a null value and, in this case do not expose the related field ?For example if CL.Tab2Cod is null the field T2.Description will be empty but all other fields are exposed.

I've got a table that caches calculated values for certain dates. I want to use LINQ to select all rows where the calculated value fields are null.But when I use isNothing I get an error that LINQ can't translate this into T-SQL. Is there a way to select null values with link, like this...?
Dim var = From rec As Record In myDataContext.Records Where IsNothing(rec.calculatedValue) Select rec
Other posts on stackoverflow mostly discuss how to avoid or check for null values with LINQ.
Note: I can't just set cacluatedValue's default to -1 to flag records whose calculated value has not been set (and then select those records) because I run queries that sum/average the calculated values. Selecting nulls seems cleaner and less bug-prone.
