Yes. Or depending on what you're doing, there might be other ways to handle it. For most of my needs, I only needed null rather than empty string when saving data to a database, so I changed my database layer software to perform the empty-string-to-null conversion at that point.
For the few other places I needed to check (business logic), I checked against both null and empty string. On 5/17/07, Juan Ignacio Sánchez Lara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
