Or, even simpler....
Dim employee As String =
dtAllEmployees.Rows(rowcounter).Item("Employee").ToString()
-----Original Message-----
From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Dean Fiala
The value in this field
dtAllEmployees.Rows(rowcounter).Item("Employee")
contains a DBNull.Value
which means the value in the row for the column Employee is Null and
cannot
be cast to a string
I find it helpful to create a shared function to deal with this...
Public Shared Function NullToEmptyString(ByVal o As Object) As String If
o Is DBNull.Value Then Return "" Else Return o End If End Function
