Re: How to use Nullable types?
Hey MarMan,
DBNull is not exactly the same as Null. Null really means that a reference-type variable has no reference while the DBNull value can also mean that a variable or a table field was never initialized, it represent the abscence of a known value. Its not a big difference but that's why you are getting the error you get. Have a look here for more info.
the simple solution is to use an "if" statement to check for DBNull value.
