Hi,
Appreciate being able to get any feedback. I'm somewhat new to ASP.NET using 3.5
Getting error after adding a new field to an existing sqlreader class. The error is supposedly pointing to a null value in a datalist. But if this one line is removed there is no problem for the entire ItemTemplate.
_var= reader["field"] != null ? (int)reader["field"] : 0;
The only other change to the sqlreader class is the new field's get set.
Thank you in advance
If your field2 contains null, Eval("field2") will be null so you'll get a null-ref while calling Equals on it. Simply swap the operands:
<%# "".Equals(Eval("field2")) ? "" : Eval("field3") + " " + Eval("field4") + " " + Eval("field 5") %>
Although I'd recommend comparing with null which is more readable and likely more correct.
