How can DBNull not equal DBNull

I have the following line of code

if (DBNull.Value.Equals(o) || o != null)

where o is object o in row.ItemArray I keep getting an error of -->

Xml type "List of xdt:untypedAtomic" does not support a conversion from Clr type "DBNull" to Clr type "String".

What I don't understand is that when I step through my code this if should be catching this and performing my alternate action but it does not?

Can someone please shed some light for me.

Thank you!

Solution

  • Try using

    Convert.IsDBNull method.
