Question

What's wrong with my code? the error happens on UPDATE block " If reader1.Read() Then rtbURThirdMolar.Text = reader1.Item("Up_Right_3rd_Molar")" Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid

Answer 1

rtbURThirdMolar.Text = reader1.Item("Up_Right_3rd_Molar").ToString

this is because the item you are referencing is NULL.
