parameterized sql...dbnull value?

[darrel]

I should know this, but I don't...

How do I enter a null value in an integer field using parameterized SQL?

I have this:

Dim bonding2ID As Integer
If cleanSQLinput(DropDownList_bondingCo2.SelectedItem.Value.ToString) =
"none" Then
bonding2ID = DBNull.Value
Else
bonding2ID =
cleanSQLinput(DropDownList_bondingCo2.SelectedItem.Value.ToString)
End If

But it's not liking the 'DBNull.Value' part.

Hi,
I think u r corret.

Try System.DbNull.Value to store a NULL value.

There's no easy way...you can use a nullable type in 2.0, but that only gets
you 1/2 way there anyways.

Write it as a method that returns an object *shrug*

function GetBondId() as object
if BLAH
return DBNull.Value
end if
return cleanSQLinput(BLAHx)
end function

his problem is assigning DBNull.Value to an integer...which you can't.

Damn.

function GetBondId() as object
if BLAH
return DBNull.Value
end if
return cleanSQLinput(BLAHx)
end function

So, I'm basically just returning two different types of objects? I'll give
that a shot.

Out of curiosity, what kind of object DOES accept null values?

System.Object is the only one I know about. Even Nullable types in 2.0 don't
natively support a database's NULL value (which makes this pretty useless)
