    testing DbNull

    I have a datagrid and one of the fields from the DB may return a null value. How can I test if it does?

    <ItemTemplate>
    <%# Container.DataItem ("Display_Start_Date").ToShortDateString()%>
    </ItemTemplate>

    <%# IIF(IsDBNull(Container.DataItem ("Display_Start_Date"))," - NULL - ", Container.DataItem ("Display_Start_Date").ToShortDateString())%>
    </ItemTemplate>
    Need to re-register ASP.NET?
    C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v#VERSIONNUMBER#\aspnet_regiis -i

    (Edit #VERSIONNUMBER# as needed - do a DIR if you don't know)

    is this the proper syntax...

    <%# IIF(IsDBNull

    shouldn't it be something like


    <%# IIF(Is DBNull.Value
