Getting Dapper to return an empty string instead of a null string

Question

I know it\'s kind of the wrong thing to do, but I\'m dealing with a legacy codebase that has NULLS when it means empty strings and vice versa.

I can\'t immediately

Answer 1

In short: depending how you load the data to the dapper you may get two different scenarios.

First: Turn up your data provider layer, for example like in this post - How to return null from a Dapper query rather than default(T)?.

Second way to try: you may modify your GetTypeDeserializer like in the following post - Change Dapper so that it maps a database null value to double.NaN

Third and the last: it is my friendly advice to work on your previous questions acceptance rate. In this way you may increase chances of replies for your questions.

Hope all this will help.
