pass DBNull.Value as paramter of type object

[John A Grandy]

I would like to pass a DataRow column value to a method that accepts an
object parameter :

MyMethod( object value ) {}


However, a problem occurs if the column value is DBNull.Value

MyMethod( DataRow["MyCol"] );


A null reference exception is thrown in this case.

What is the reason that a DBNull.Value can't be passed as a parameter of
type object ?

MyMethod( DataRow["MyCol"] );

It can.
Are you sure that DataRow is non null and that the column is spelt
correctly? Other than that, the bug is in some of the code not shown.
