I’m trying to populate a class object with values from a database table. The someObject.Property field is a nullable int type.

someObject.Property = Convert.ToInt32(dbReader["SomeField"]);

So, if SomeField is null, Convert will give a DBNull error. Is there a specific method I should be using for this?

    This should work…

    someObject.Property = dbReader["SomeField"].Equals(DBNull.Value)
    ? null
    : (Int32)dbReader["SomeField"];

    @John – Good catch. Edit to reflect that oversight.
