I have a datareader that return a lsit of records from a sql server database. I have a field in the database called "Additional". This field is 50% of the time empty or null.
I am trying to write code that checks if this field isnull. The logic behind this is: If the field "Additional" contains text then display the info otherwise hide the field.
I have tried:
if (myReader["Additional"] != null)
{
ltlAdditional.Text = "contains data";
}
else
{
ltlAdditional.Text = "is null";
}
The above code gives me this error:
Exception Details: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Additional
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
if (myReader["Additional"] != DBNull.Value)
{
ltlAdditional.Text = "contains data";
}
else
{
ltlAdditional.Text = "is null";
}
