SqlParameter.IsNullable Property

Examples

The following example creates a SqlParameter and sets some of its properties.

static void CreateSqlParameterNullable()
{
    SqlParameter parameter = new SqlParameter("Description", SqlDbType.VarChar, 88);
    parameter.IsNullable = true;
    parameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
}
Private Sub CreateSqlParameterNullable()
    Dim parameter As New SqlParameter("Description", SqlDbType.VarChar, 88)
    parameter.IsNullable = True
    parameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
End Sub

Remarks

Null values are handled using the DBNull class.
