I am having problems with my code, where I get the "Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types" message when Insert(). I get the message on every Insert to this table, even though the data is successfully inserted. If I Update the same data after Insert(), it does so without error. I have checked my values and none of them are DBNull. Even when the same values are passed on Insert that are passed on Update.
My code is :
Private Sub Save()
Dim bo As tbl_GL
bo = New tbl_GL()
bo.ConnectionString = AppConfig.ConnectString

I have a generic Class I'm using to hold information loaded from a database.I have a method which takes a DataRow as an argument, uses the object's known column name and extracts the data from the DataRow, such that:Dim loadData As T = CType(myDataRow("myColumnName"), T))works as my default assignment in most cases.Unfortunately, due to some horrifying design constraints, some of my columns may be null, and may also be taken from enumerations.This means that when <T> is Nullable(Of SomeEnumeration) the above code does not work because I can't cast 0 directly to SomeEnumeration.Zero.Is there some way to check whether <T> is Nullable(Of [Enum])? Or some way to write a method which allows Integers to be cast to Nullable(Of [Enum])?I feel like I'm forgetting something that would allow me to write one of the other of these, but my weak google-fu is turning up nothing.
EDIT: Okay, thanks to dasblinkenlight's answer below, I can detect when this circumstance is occurring, but what I need to do now is to take a type <T> which I know is Nullable(Of SomeClass), get a type reference to SomeClass and then create a new object of type Nullable(Of SomeClass) and assign that to LoadData.My problem was that I had a lot of difficulty in finding any function which would accept baseType as an actual Type.Parse accepted baseType as a parameter, I knew baseType was an [Enum] type because of dasblinkenlight's code, so I was, in this instance, able to code a solution. It's a solution which is very specific to my problem (i.e., T is Nullable(of SomeEnumeration)), but it's a solution nonetheless.

I am using threads to read from a file and process content. I have the following code:
Dim line As String = Nothing
Dim result As String = Nothing
Dim solved As Boolean[code].....
and it gives me that error at line: If Not result.Contains("ERROR") Then with labels works fine but I read that they are bad for coding.How can I get rid of this error? What am I doing wrong?

I converted the Microsoft's datagridviewcustomcolumn sample into vb.net to host maskedtextbox control. The maskedtextbox column works fine when it is not bound to database field. But it raises exception when it is bound. I have shaded the line that raises the exception.

Failure is not an option! But sometime you need to look at those option.

Is there a technical reason why there is no implicit conversion from DBNull to the various nullable and/or sql types? I understand why the conversions don't currently happen, but don't understand why an implicit conversion wasn't created at the time or added in subsequent versions of the framework.Just to be clear, I'm looking for technical reasons, not "because that's they way they did it" or "I like it that way".

I have a class with a Property called 'Value' which is of type Object.Value can be of any type, a structure, a class, an array, IList etc.My problem is with the setter and determining whether the value has changed or not.This is simple enough for value types, but reference types and lists present a problem.For a class, would you assume that the Equals method has been implemented correctly, or just assume that the value has changed every time the setter is called?If I did assume it's changed, then perhaps I should assume it for value types as well, so that the behaviour is consistent.

Could anyone assist me in solving my problem ? My code was written in VB (VS 2003.)I got this error: System.InvalidCastException: Cast from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid. in my code.Here is the code line where I am getting the error: LeadCampusID = CInt(.Item("mkCampusID"))I fixed the error by making the changes in the code as :
If Not IsDBNull(.Item("mkCampusID")) Then
LeadCampusID = CInt(.Item("mkCampusID"))

I have
Public stack() As CTest
I want
Public stack() As Object
The latter is giving the error "Unable to cast object of type 'Object' to 'CTest'." when used:
Dim thestack As CTest() = testdatabase.getStack
Where testdatabase.getStack simply returns stack();
Public Function getStack() As Object()
Return stack
End Function
This fixes it, but it's not ideal (for me personally):
Dim thestack As Object() = testdatabase.getStack
So if I could keep the variable as-is (Public stack() As Object) and then do something along the lines of class.stack() = CTest I should be able to do Dim thestack As CTest() = testdatabase.getStack because the object array will programmatically have changed from Object to CTest.

In C# we can do something like this:
Honda a = new Car(); and that works but the same one doesn't work in Visual Basic.NET (I am fairly new to Visual Basic)
Dim a as Honda = new Car and it says Unable to cast object of type 'SampleApp.Car' to type 'SampleApp.Honda'.
Here is my sample code:

I am having some trouble creating an object array of different object types. Here is what I have so far:
Public Sub New()
Dim b1 As New Book("Book Title 1", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
Dim b2 As New Book("Book Title 2", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
Dim b3 As New Book("Book Title 3", "Gold Book Publisher", 1.0, "Bob Jones", "192DJDJD212", "01/02/10")
[code]....
If I define the array As Book (Public publicationArray(6) As Book) or Magazine (Public publicationArray(6) As Magazine) I am able to access the properties of that class but not both. I think I need to define a type for each array instance but not sure how to do this.

I have a method which receives an object as parameter. This object is always of a class I have created, it will never be something simple as string, integer, etc
In my simple example I have created a class called ClassThatWillBeUpdated that requires a type for some reason not shown in the example
Public Class ClassThatWillBeUpdated(Of T)
Private _count As Integer = 0
Public Property Count() As Integer
[Code]....
Or maybe it would be possible to call the DoWork(of T)(item) directly when creating the thread, but as far as I know it's not possible to make a thread run a method that has (of T) as that is basically what I'm looking for
Needless to say, the above code would fail during compile as I have no idea how to do it, if it's even possible. I'm using .net framework 3.5

I using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel I get returned a 2D array of type object[,] which contains double for elements. Note that the index lower bound is 1 instead of the default 0, but I can deal with that easily. How can nicely convert the array into double[,] using .NET 3.5. (by nicely I mean concise, or compact).

I have researched this like crazy, but cannot seem to troubleshoot this myself.When I run the program in VS it works great (No errors), but when I run the .exe by itself I get this error. See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.[code]When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.What would cause this to error by itself, but not in VS?

Public Sub SetDropDownValue(Of T As Structure)(ByVal target As ListControl, ByVal value As Nullable(Of T))
The method I am writing is passed a parameter of type object.
How can I cast the object into something that can be passed into the SetDropDownValue method?

I am using reflection to get an object's type, or for this issue an object that has instance properties type, at runtime and then I need to change an existing variable's type into that newly found type. Is this possible? For example, the following code does not work in the line indicated within:

'This is a instance property on the object of a different type

Unable to cast object of type

The value of item is a string representation of a Guid. I'd also like the syntax for a Lambda expression.
