Hi there,
If I add a new event and leave the description field empty the StarterKit seems to throw a big wobbly over the null values in my DB (SQL2000).
Have I made a mistake in the installation or something?
The problem lies in this line:
SharedRoutines.truncate((string)Eval("description")) because description is Null.
I want to sort this in this line and I don't want to reply on validators?

Update error , "Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type 'System.String'" , using DataSet as a datasourceHi All,
The following sample code is for testing dw.UpdateData using dataset as the
data source.
The data retrieval and display part under Form1_Load works fine.
However, inputting some values in a new row and calling dw.UpdateData causes
the following error:
"Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type 'System.String'"
The error seems to occur when a datawindow column value has been changed
from null value.
Does anyone know how to fix the error ?
Thank you for your advice.
I use DW2.5 (build 8542), VS2005 pro, MS SQL Express.

Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.Byte[]' error
Hello,
I have some binary data in a MySQL database, and im trying to convert it to a file.
Before, when i was using the ms sql express 2005 database, everything was working fine. But then i migrated to MySQL because of budget issues. The following is the block of code that produces the error.private void showDbImage()
{string ImageId = Request.QueryString["img"];
//build our query statementstring sqlText = "SELECT DownloadFile, DownloadType FROM DownloadTable WHERE DownloadName = '" + ImageId +"'";
OdbcConnection connection = new OdbcConnection( ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["mySqlConnectionString"].ConnectionString );
OdbcCommand command = new OdbcCommand( sqlText, connection );
//open the database and get a datareader
connection.Open();OdbcDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader();
if (dr.Read()) //yup we found our file
{Response.ContentType = dr["DownloadType"].ToString();Response.BinaryWrite((byte[])dr["DownloadFile"]); //downloadFile is the column that contains the binary data
}
connection.Close();
}
However, when this code runs, i get the following error in my browser.

The "DownloadFile" column contains the binary data of the file, and its a "LONGTEXT" type.

imperialx:one field is named dateSubmitted having a data type NCharVar

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int64' to type 'System.String'
Hi friends I am getting the following error..."Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int64' to type 'System.String'." for the following line of code
if ((QSDealID) == (dr.GetString(1).ToString()))...............need ur help...Gurjeet,England
First of all, the ToString of the GetString method is not needed because the GetString will return a string. The prolem with your code is that QSDealID is of type System.Int64, right? So a Int64 can't be compared with a string. The DataReader have a method that can return a Int64, so instead of using GetString(1), use GetInt64.
if (QSDealID == dr.GetInt64(1))/Fredrik Normén - fredrikn @ twitterMicrosoft MVP, MCSD, MCAD, MCTASPInsidersMy Blog
is ur QSDealID is interger???
i think if it is then u r required to convert it into string or
convert dr.Getstring(0).tostring into Int64Thanks, Mahadeo-----------------------------------------------Best is Not the END point, but a starting point for Innovation------------------------------------------------Remember to mark posts as the "Answer" to help future users....
Unable to cast object of type 'System.String[]' to type 'System.IConvertible'.
hi expert
i try get the string from request.querystring("CID")
from the error messege i know that is string[] (array)
how to convert it to int32 and request.querystring("CID") is int value
Line 19: protected void ObjectDataSourceCarPicture_Inserting(object sender, ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs e)
Line 20: {
Line 21: e.InputParameters.Add("CID", Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString.GetValues("CID")) );
Line 22: // e.InputParameters.Add("CID", Convert.ToInt32( Convert.ToString( a Request.QueryString.GetValues("CID")))));
Line 23: }
i already try search from google but still not get the solution
Why dont you carry it out this way: string result = Request.QueryString["CID"];
//Parses the given string, throwing some kind of error when its
//not a number
int cid = Int32.Parse(result);And then use the cid whereever you want!Hope that helps.So simple... yet so effective.My "Life"ly Blog
thanks for reply
it works
other that
i did a mistake
Request.QueryString.GetValues("CID") to Request.QueryString.Get("CID")
Watch out for the other thing that I mentioned in my code.. you can use Request.QueryString["CID"] to index into the QueryString collection. Saves some hassle.Smiles.So simple... yet so effective.My "Life"ly Blog...

I get the above error when using the DynamicDataController for a simple schema that looks like the one listed below. It happens when there is actually data in the 2 tables and I try to list the contents of b. I have a sample application that demonstrates this in full if anyone needs it. The work-around is to add a varchar field to table a, and then the exception goes away. I'd rather not do this, so if you know of any code-based workarounds, I'm all ears.
The full stack trace is also listed below the schema. If I need to report this to a better place, I'd be happy to do that.
