Linq to dataset question C# vb.net LINQ ASP.Net

I have a northwind sample i created and I am having trouble with My Linq query. I am using linq to dataset.

I am going to attach some sample code which will work with the northwind database on a sql server system.

I would award points to anyone who could tell me why i am having a problem with my search only when i choose Region, Fax, or PostalCode from the dropdown combo.  

Below is 2 forms w/ designers, 1 class library, and an app.config file.

you will need the northwind database on sql server, you can get it here -->

Hi talker2004;

The issue you are having is that some of the columns in the database allow null's and the Were clause must evaluate to a Boolean True or False. The columns Region, Fax, or PostalCode have null's in them so you need to test to make sure that it does not have a null and if it does don't evaluate it's field. The query below should work.

Fernando
Dim ICustLondon As IEnumerable(Of DataRow) = _
         From customer In dsNorthwind.Tables("Customers").AsEnumerable() _
         Where customer.Field(Of String)(strSearchField) IsNot Nothing AndAlso customer.Field(Of String)(strSearchField).ToUpper.Trim Like txtSearch.Text.ToUpper.Trim & "*" _
         Select customer

so nice, i knew you would get it.

I also did know about the null values and it was my best guess at what was causing the problem, i simply did not know how to handle it through code.

Points well earned.

Only other question i have is what if i wanted to query all the postal codes with null values? Would that be a problem in linq?

great this worked perfect. Here is what i ended up doing for the search box.


Dim ICustomers As IEnumerable(Of DataRow)

            If Me.txtSearch.Text.Trim <> "" Then
                ICustomers = _
                 From customer In dsNorthwind.Tables("Customers").AsEnumerable() _
                 Where customer.Field(Of String)(strSearchField) IsNot Nothing _
                 AndAlso customer.Field(Of String)(strSearchField).ToUpper.Trim Like _
                 txtSearch.Text.ToUpper.Trim & "*" _
                 Select customer

            Else
                ICustomers = _
                     From customer In dsNorthwind.Tables("Customers").AsEnumerable() _
                     Where customer.Field(Of String)(strSearchField) Is Nothing OrElse _
                     customer.Field(Of String)(strSearchField).ToUpper.Trim Like "*" _
                     Select customer
            End If
Thanks so much....
That should do it just fine.  ;=)
