Nullable object types

[Nemisis]

Hi everyone, i have been stressing over this for the past hour or so,
and just cannot figure it out, sorry if i am being stupid, but it is a
friday! lol

I have the following

Private _ID as nullable (Of integer)

Public Property ID()
Get
Return _ID
End Get
Set(ByVal value)
_ID = value
End Set
End Property

If i write
Me.ID = 1234

then the value in the debugger seems to update, great.

But how do i get it back to null again? If i set ID = DBNull.Value, i
get a build error. If i set ID = Nothing, then in the debugger, it
says "Nullable object must have a value".

If i am missing the point and being stupid, i do apoligise, i just
really need to get this done.

Try :
Me.ID = Nothing

MsgBox(Me.ID.HasValue)



Use Option Strict so that youi see you should make the propery IsNullable(Of
Integer) instead of just Object...

I have tried setting the property to nothing and that still doesnt
work. ???

As I said, you also have to correctly type your property :
Private _ID As Nullable(Of Integer)

Public Property ID() As Nullable(Of Integer)

Get

Return _ID

End Get

Set(ByVal value As Nullable(Of Integer))

_ID = value

End Set

End Property

You can then set the property to nothing :
Me.ID = 1234

Me.ID = Nothing

MsgBox(Me.ID.HasValue)
