Devart.Data.SQLite Namespace / SQLiteDataReader Class / IsDBNull Method / IsDBNull(Int32) Method
Example

IsDBNull(Int32) Method

Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Overrides Function IsDBNull( _
   ByVal i As Integer _
) As Boolean
 

Parameters

i

Return Value

true if the specified column value is equivalent to System.DBNull; otherwise, false.
Remarks
To avoid raising an error, call this method to check for null column values before calling the typed Get methods (for example, GetByte, GetChar, and so on).
Example
static void GetMyValue(SQLiteConnection myConnection)
{
  SQLiteCommand cmd = new SQLiteCommand("SELECT * FROM AllTypes");
  cmd.Connection = myConnection;
  myConnection.Open();
  try
  {
    SQLiteDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
    reader.Read();

    for (short i = 0; i < reader.FieldCount; i++)
    {
      if (reader.IsDBNull(i))
        Console.WriteLine("NULL");
      else
      {
        object someValue = reader.GetValue(i);
        Console.WriteLine(someValue.ToString());
      }
    }

    reader.Close();
  }
  finally
  {
    myConnection.Close();
  }
}
