How to check IS NULL on DataTable?
Solution 1
Use the strongly typed DataRow
extension method Field
which also supports nullable types:
IEnumerable<DataRow> rows = ds.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
.Where(r => !r.Field<int?>("ParentId").HasValue);
Note that i've used Enumerable.Where
which is a Linq extension method to filter the table.
If you want an array use ToArray
, if you want a new DataTable
use CopyToDataTable
. If you simply want to enumerate the result use foreach
.
foreach(DataRow row in rows)
{
// ...
}
Solution 2
var rowsWithoutParent = dt.AsEnumerable().Where(r => r["ParentId"] == null);
var rowsWithParent = dt.AsEnumerable().Where(r => r["ParentId"] != null);
Solution 3
var rows = ds.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
.Where(r => r.IsNull("ParentId"));

In my case i am passing a sql query and getting data in dataset, but problem occurs when i try to get the rows where ParentId column contain NULL.This is the piece of code.
DataSet ds = GetDataSet("Select ProductId,ProductName,ParentId from ProductTable"); //ds is not blank and it has 2 rows in which ParentId is NULL DataRow[] Rows = ds.Tables[0].Select("ParentId IS NULL");
But still i am not getting any rows. Need help. Thanx.
