Dealing with Nulls

Hi

Am allocating values from a Listbox to text boxes..... when there is nulls my program cracks up and throws an error

     txtType.Text = CType(lstRumbas.SelectedItem, DataRowView).Item(14)

 mind VB didnt like this either....... what best way of dealing with it? And what would VB.Net syntax be for picking up Null value and skipping past it without throwing error/ wobbly!!

cheers Geo

If CType(lstRumbas.SelectedItem, DataRowView).Item(14) Not IsNull Then
           txtType.Text = CType(lstRumbas.SelectedItem, DataRowView).Item(14)
End If

Cheers guys.... am going with LearnedOne cos it was simple and neat.....

Thanks Real_McKoy but to use your version would mean changing over about 10 lines to 30ish.... or 10 long lines!!

Now if only I could allow editing and saving back the records...sigh
