what happened to "isNull()"?

how do I test for null in .NET

[txbakers]

There used to be a VB function isNull().

But in .NET that's gone away and something called DBNull is in it's place, but it's not a comparative.

How do I check for a null value when fetching data? (outer joins and such)

[Mr_Brutal]

Try: IsDBNull(strToTest)

Is this what you meant?

[txbakers]

that's what I was going for. does that work in .NET? (vb)

[Mr_Brutal]

It works for me but I admit I haven't really researched it. Its definately different from an empty string though!

If you want to use it as a comparative it's DBNull.Value
