Why is the column nullable if you require a default value to be returned? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Random Coder [mailto:random.co...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Dienstag, 15. Juli 2014 03:50 An: General Discussion of SQLite Database Betreff: Re: [sqlite] Preferred cast in C#
Could you not do something like this to handle the nullable types? T GetValue<T>(string field) { object obj = reader[field]; if (obj is System.DBNull) return default(T); else return (T)obj; } Assuming the type is nullable, it should do the right thing, and if it's an unexpected type, it'll throw an exception when casting to T.
