Testing for a null value before accessing

[Simon Harvey]

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can tell me the best way to test for null values in a
DataRow object before accessing the field in question. I have found one
example, but it seemed quite verbose and I'm sure in the past I've seen more
elegant solutions

Thanks in advance for any help

Does that work in C#?

Thanks

if(!IsDbNull(value)){ ;}

Yes, that was C# ;-)

If you are using a typed dataset, then the typed datarow has a special
IsMyFieldNull method for each field.

If you are not using a typed dataset, why not?
