Hi All, Thanks for looking at my question. I have 2 if statements:

C#

if (recordset("IsLocked").VALUE != null)
        {
            if ((int)recordset("IsLocked").VALUE == 1)
            {
                Response.Redirect("../Lockout.aspx");
            }
        }

I am getting the error "Cannot convert type 'System.DBNull' to 'int'"
Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you,
D

Who told you that the Value is integer? :-) This is the case when Value is not null, but DbNull, so check for DbNull first.

Solution 1

The solution is to do an is null check on the value before attempting a conversion.

C#

if( recordset("IsLocked") != DBNull.Value && (int)recordset("IsLocked").VALUE == 1) ...
