SqlDataReader 检查空值的最佳方法 -sqlDataReader.IsDBNull 与 DBNull.Value

我想从数据库中检索十进制值，并且想知道检查空值的推荐方法。

我见过MSDN - DBNull.Value 字段 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.dbnull.value.aspx该检查很少使用。

因此，是reader.IsDBNull检查空值的最佳/最有效方法？

我创建了 2 个示例方法：

public static decimal? GetNullableDecimal(SqlDataReader reader, string fieldName)
{
    if (reader[fieldName] == DBNull.Value)
    {
        return null;
    }
    return (decimal)reader[fieldName];
}

public static decimal? GetNullableDecimal_2(SqlDataReader reader, string fieldName)
{
    if (reader.IsDBNull(reader[fieldName]))
    {
         return null;
    }
    return (decimal)reader[fieldName];
}

大多数时候这些字段将为空。

提前致谢！

我不会太纠结于哪种方法更好，因为这两种方法都有效，而且我以前在代码中使用过这两种方法。

例如，这是我从我的一个旧项目中挖掘出来的实用函数：

/// <summary>
/// Helper class for SqlDataReader, which allows for the calling code to retrieve a value in a generic fashion.
/// </summary>
public static class SqlReaderHelper
{
    private static bool IsNullableType(Type theValueType)
    {
        return (theValueType.IsGenericType && theValueType.GetGenericTypeDefinition().Equals(typeof(Nullable<>)));
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Returns the value, of type T, from the SqlDataReader, accounting for both generic and non-generic types.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">T, type applied</typeparam>
    /// <param name="theReader">The SqlDataReader object that queried the database</param>
    /// <param name="theColumnName">The column of data to retrieve a value from</param>
    /// <returns>T, type applied; default value of type if database value is null</returns>
    public static T GetValue<T>(this SqlDataReader theReader, string theColumnName)
    {
        // Read the value out of the reader by string (column name); returns object
        object theValue = theReader[theColumnName];

        // Cast to the generic type applied to this method (i.e. int?)
        Type theValueType = typeof(T);

        // Check for null value from the database
        if (DBNull.Value != theValue)
        {
            // We have a null, do we have a nullable type for T?
            if (!IsNullableType(theValueType))
            {
                // No, this is not a nullable type so just change the value's type from object to T
                return (T)Convert.ChangeType(theValue, theValueType);
            }
            else
            {
                // Yes, this is a nullable type so change the value's type from object to the underlying type of T
                NullableConverter theNullableConverter = new NullableConverter(theValueType);

                return (T)Convert.ChangeType(theValue, theNullableConverter.UnderlyingType);
            }
        }

        // The value was null in the database, so return the default value for T; this will vary based on what T is (i.e. int has a default of 0)
        return default(T);
    }
}

Usage:

yourSqlReaderObject.GetValue<int?>("SOME_ID_COLUMN");
yourSqlReaderObject.GetValue<string>("SOME_VALUE_COLUMN");
