What is the best precise method of converting bit(0 or 1) from sql(row array text cell) to boolean value.

example: bool? b = (bool?)(row.cells[0].Text)

Thanks. If possible one line of code please

ASM

1. create table test(name varchar(20),status bit not null)

assume status has value 0 or 1. then fill to a dataset.

Bind a gridview directly to dataset.

Column status shows true or false on gridview which is ok.

To retrieve the status value from gridviewrow.cells[1].text return empty string.

Confirm.

Probably by asking it in the correct forum and by reading the message at the top of the page that says...

You need to spend some time with your debugger to figure out exactly where this is going wrong and why. Check all the possible values in your objects at each stage, in particular check whether gridviewrow.cells[1] actually has a text value that can be returned.

that store uniqueidentifier value seprated with ,
so i create function to split this ntext value in local table which each row have 1 uniqueidentifer value
but i have error when i try to create local variable of type ntext

The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid for local variables
i need any help to solve my problem

Check Different Select query result

Dear all,
Please suggest me to write shortest and effective query in Storeprocedure.
To assign value to @Color, there will be different select queries with different conditions, My query sample will be as the following,

SQL

Select @result=count(*) from table where condition1
IF @result = 20
    Begin
        @Color='Red Color'
    End
Else
    Begin
        select @result=count(*) from table where condition2
        IF @result=20
        Begin
            @Color='Blue Color'
        End
        Else
        Begin
            select @result=count(*) from table where condition3
            IF @result>0
            Begin
                @Color='Blue Color'
            End
            Else
            Begin
                Select  @result=count(*) from table where Condition4
                IF @result>0
                Begin
                    @Color='Blue Color'
                End
                Else
                Begin
                    Select @result=count(*) from where Condition5
                    IF @result=20
                    Begin
                        @Color='Green Color'
                    End
                    Else
                    Begin
                        Select @result=count(*) from where Condition6
                        IF @result>0
                        Begin
                            @Color='Yellow Color'
                        End
                        Else
                        Begin
                            @Color='Orange Color'
                        End
                    End
                End
            End
        End
    End

Thanks and best regards

You should let us know what database you are using.

Look into CASE if you are using SQL Server

Thank you for your reply.

So far what I've found CASE are use like below

SQL

SELECT   Category =
      CASE type
         WHEN 'popular_comp' THEN 'Popular Computing'
         WHEN 'trad_cook' THEN 'Traditional Cooking'
         ELSE 'Not yet categorized'
      END

SQL

UPDATE HumanResources.Employee
SET VacationHours = 
    ( CASE
         WHEN ((VacationHours - 10.00) < 0) THEN VacationHours + 40
         ELSE (VacationHours + 20.00)
       END
    )

But, I have no idea how to use in my query.
Could you please give me some samples by using my scenarios?

Thanks and best regards

Using your second format you basically take your where clauses and place them between WHEN and THEN

UPDATE HumanResources.Employee
SET VacationHours = 
    ( CASE
         WHEN whereclause1 THEN VacationHours + 40
         WHEN whereclause2 THEN VacationHours + 10
         WHEN whereclause3 THEN VacationHours + 19
         WHEN whereclause4 THEN VacationHours + 11
       END
    )

The complexity of the where clauses it going to drive you nuts, sequencing them correctly will be a pain and debugging is going to be bloody horrible. Good luck

This is very true if the where clauses are even a bit complex...

Instead of trying to combine everything to a giant statement, could you go the other way: brake it into pieces.

Don't know the whole situation, but could you for example create small, separate functions that fetch the desired info and in the 'main' logic use these functions (or procedures if you like). When you create the parameterized functions I would guess that at some point you notice the similarities between conditions if there are any so perhaps the amount of functions won't be as many as you now have different selects.

Also during the process you may find different kind of options to build the desired output that are now hard to see.

In any case, best of luck!
