Is there a generic single function to check for a dbnull regardless of data

I'm not sure what you mean by this. If you mean "regardless of type
stored in the DataRow cell" then can't you just do this:

if (row["ColumnName"] == DBNull.Value) ...

? If you mean something else then please clarify....

How about IsDBNull?

Type IsDBNull in the help index and you will get a list of all the objects that
use it.
Good luck with your project,
