What type variable can I use to assign a possible Null or a string to?

Posted By: Posted Date: September 19, 2010 Points: 0 Category :.NET Framework

Hi,

I am converting a VB6 app to VB2008 and are having problems with replacing Variant variables.

I used Variant in cases where the data might be string or Null.

Is there a way I could check for Null and just set the string to zero lenght?

Any help would be appreciated.

 Conversion from string to type 'Date' is not valid 
  Hi

Im receiving a strange error Error Message: Conversion from string "15/08/2010 22:21:35" to type 'Date' is not valid.

I know this is generally down to cultural date formats etc, however the reason this is strange is it just randomly occured twice in the last week, the website has been running since october and nothing has changed,

The error constantly occured until the IIS was reset and recompilled the site, its been running fine since, however im just trying to figure out what could cause such an error to occur.

I've narrowed it down to a line of code which is:

bktime = DReader.Item("Bktime").ToString

bktime = Year(CDate(bktime)) & "-" & fmt(Month(CDate(bktime)), 2) & "-" & fmt(Day(CDate(bktime)), 2)

Has anyone else encountered this randomly occuring and is there anything i can put in place to prevent this in future?

Dropdown menu - Null or empty string??

I have drop dowm menu as follow.

<asp:ListItem Value="">none</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="STO">Stock</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="ORD">Order</asp:ListItem>

If I chose none, it stores data as "Null"

If I Query the data as below, I don't get the data has value of "Null"

SELECT tabale From type Where type <> STO or type <> ORD

I get data that has empty string but not Null.

Here is my question.

1, How do I write dropdown menu value in oder to get empty string instead of Null?
I did <asp:ListItem Value="">none</asp:ListItem> but this stores Null.

2, Why this Query won't pick up Null?
SELECT mytabale FROM type WHERE type <> STO or type <> ORD

Thank you for your help.

Variable/Argument Type List

Hi I wish to restrict or supply my own list of (Variable/Argument) types to a rehosted Workflow Designer. Is this definatley not possible? I have read http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wfprerelease/thread/53c91c81-02cf-4eab-b43f-c3d73a03c501, where it appears it is not. I find it difficult to believe I cannot get some sort of control of how these drop downs are populated. Could someone please confirm categorically that this is or is not possible.

query string or session variable or neither for this scenario?

Hello,example scenario: user login has a list of associated 'accounts' it has access to... this list of accounts is stored in a database table, say tblAccountAccessControl, something like:login, accountID-----------------------userA, account123userA, account456userA, account798userB, accountABCuserB, accountDEFetc..this info is used throughout the web application and determines the 'domain' of information the particular login has access to. For example there are many other tables that have the 'accountID' field and whenever a page pulls data from the table it only pulls data that the currently logged in user should be allowed to see, based on that tblAccountAccessControl data.the security question:1) do I need to query the database every time I need to get this list of allowed accountID's? I was about to use a plain old query string to pass a particular accountID to another page but quickly caught myself as I realized that would be a major security flaw (the receiving page was going to use that accountID to grab info from the database, and there would be nothing preventing a user from simply typing in a url manually to get data from an accountID they are not supposed to be allowed to view). So I then thought I'll just store the list of accountID's in a session state variable so they will be carried with the user throughout the sessi

Comparing Null Values(from variable) in SSIS

Hi All I need to create a script that checks to see if a variable value is NULL, if it is then it executes the next SQL Task and if not then the package has finished. I have this in a SQL 2000 DTS package script: Function Main() If isnull(DTSGlobalVariables("NextLoadDate")) Then Main = DTSStepScriptResult_DontExecuteTask Else Main = DTSStepScriptResult_ExecuteTask End if End Function As you can see, all I want to do is check to see if a variable is null then don't execute the next task. But i cannot get it to work in a SQL 2005 SSIS package, so far I have created a script and come up with the following: Public Sub Main() If Dts.Variables("NextLoadDate").Value.ToString <> "" Then Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success Else Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure End If End Sub Any Ideas? Thanks BigGopher

Conversion from type 'TextBox' to type 'String' is not valid

I have a FormView that allows a user to register for a company event. I want to do a couple of things with this form. 1. I need to write this data to a MS SQL database 2. I need to send an email confirmation of their registration to their email. I know how to do both of these things, but i am having trouble doing both at the same time. It would be nice if I could do it in one click, but I coded it into two pages to try to help simplify it. The first page allows the user to input their information into a formview and when they click the submit button, it places those answers into session variables:Protected Sub InsertButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Session("FirstName") = Me.FormView1.FindControl("FirstName") Session("LastName") = Me.FormView1.FindControl("LastName") <li> <label> First Name</label> <asp:TextBox ID="FirstName" runat="server" class="text-box" Text='<%# Bind("FirstName") %>' /> </li> </ul> </div>

How to declare variable and assign value in xslt
