Handle DBNull in C#

Question

Is there a better/cleaner way to do this?

int stockvalue = 0;
if (!Convert.IsDBNull(reader[\"StockValue\"]))
    stockvalue = (int)reader[\"StockValue\"];
         


        

Answer 1

int stockvalue = reader["StockValue"] != DbNull.Value ? Convert.ToInt32(reader["StockValue"]) : 0;
