  4. VS 2010 Re: this code isn't doing what it's suppose to (easy fix)

    what's wrong with using a numeric up down control? It only accepts numeric values, you can set the maximum property to 99 to set the number of digits allowed to be entered to only 2 (covers 00 - 99)...

    Re: Dealing NULL values in SqlDataReader

    You could also change your sql query to include an ISNULL around the columns coming back as null if you're able to treat them as empty strings.
