how to pass sql parameter as null value in to integer data type variable

Dbnull.value

It depends what po is. If it's a Nullable<int> then you set it to null. The translation to DbNull should come when you are assigning the value to a parameter on a command object.

o.po  o is a entity class object PO is variable of that class , whose value is int


in entity class po is declared as


public int po {get;set;}

can help me how to declare it if i want to pass null value to DB sql server

int cannot accept NULL or DBNull.Value, as far as I know, so you will have to put some different code later, where po is used in the db query.

Is po defined as allowing null in your database table? It may just be that it hasn't filtered through to your entity model.

Edit the model and look at the settings for the po column. If "Nullable" is set to "(None)" then change it to true. But it needs to be nullable in the underlying table too.

example for declaring as nullable

If you're building your entity model from a database then you won't specify they type directly; it will be picked up from the underlying columns data type.

But yes, it would appear as int?.

Hi codeoxygen,

I think you can just give the SQL Stored Procedure Parameter a default value of NULL, by doing so the input param becomes optional; then don't pass that param when you execute the stored procedure from your code. Sorta the same effect as setting the ConvertEmptyStringToNull property in the SQL Parameter definition of a SqlDataSource object.

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.my_proc
    @po int = NULL,  -- NULL default value
    @mo int = 2,    -- Default value of 2
    @ko int = 3      -- Default value of 3
AS 
    SET NOCOUNT ON;
    SELECT @po, @mo, @ko;
GO

-- exec dbo.my_proc    -- No parameters supplied
-- Returns:
-- NULL  2  3
