Question

Hi all I am having an integer value null in my table, I would like to bind it to gridview label with 0 when the value is null, for a nullable string I write this which works fine but the same with changes didn’t work can some one help

<asp:Label ID="lbl" runat="server" Text='<%#(String.IsNullOrEmpty(Eval("call").ToString()) ? "NULL" : Eval("call"))%>'></asp:Label>

The same for Integer I write as follows

<%# string.IsNullOrEmpty(Eval("send2").ToString()) ? "0" : Convert.ToInt16(Eval("send2")).ToString() %>

This didn’t worked, any help appreciated

To check for the null variables you usually use the System.DBNull , so you code can be:

Eval("send2")==System.DBNull ?  "0" : Convert.ToInt16(Eval("send2")).ToString()

or aleternative:

Convert.IsDBNull(Eval("send2")) ? "0" : Convert.ToInt16(Eval("send2")).ToString()
