我想你会想用:

SqlReader.IsDBNull(indexFirstName)

下面是其他人可以根据@marc_s的答案使用的helper类:

public static class SQLDataReaderExtensions
    {
        public static int SafeGetInt(this SqlDataReader dataReader, string fieldName)
        {
            int fieldIndex = dataReader.GetOrdinal(fieldName);
            return dataReader.IsDBNull(fieldIndex) ? 0 : dataReader.GetInt32(fieldIndex);
        }

        public static int? SafeGetNullableInt(this SqlDataReader dataReader, string fieldName)
        {
            int fieldIndex = dataReader.GetOrdinal(fieldName);
            return dataReader.GetValue(fieldIndex) as int?;
        }

        public static string SafeGetString(this SqlDataReader dataReader, string fieldName)
        {
            int fieldIndex = dataReader.GetOrdinal(fieldName);
            return dataReader.IsDBNull(fieldIndex) ? string.Empty : dataReader.GetString(fieldIndex);
        }

        public static DateTime? SafeGetNullableDateTime(this SqlDataReader dataReader, string fieldName)
        {
            int fieldIndex = dataReader.GetOrdinal(fieldName);
            return dataReader.GetValue(fieldIndex) as DateTime?;
        }

        public static bool SafeGetBoolean(this SqlDataReader dataReader, string fieldName)
        {
            return SafeGetBoolean(dataReader, fieldName, false);
        }

        public static bool SafeGetBoolean(this SqlDataReader dataReader, string fieldName, bool defaultValue)
        {
            int fieldIndex = dataReader.GetOrdinal(fieldName);
            return dataReader.IsDBNull(fieldIndex) ? defaultValue : dataReader.GetBoolean(fieldIndex);
        }
    }

这些都不是我想要的:

 public static T GetFieldValueOrDefault<T>(this SqlDataReader reader, string name)
 {
     int index = reader.GetOrdinal(name);
     T value = reader.IsDBNull(index) ? default(T) : reader.GetFieldValue<T>(index);
     return value;
 }

如何创建帮助方法

为字符串

private static string MyStringConverter(object o)
    {
        if (o == DBNull.Value || o == null)
            return "";

        return o.ToString();
    }

使用

MyStringConverter(read["indexStringValue"])

为整数

 private static int MyIntonverter(object o)
    {
        if (o == DBNull.Value || o == null)
            return 0;

        return Convert.ToInt32(o);
    }

使用

MyIntonverter(read["indexIntValue"])

为日期

private static DateTime? MyDateConverter(object o)
    {
        return (o == DBNull.Value || o == null) ? (DateTime?)null : Convert.ToDateTime(o);
    }

使用

MyDateConverter(read["indexDateValue"])

注意:对于DateTime声明变量为

DateTime? variable;

我想你会想用:

SqlReader.IsDBNull(indexFirstName)

和/或使用赋值的三元运算符:

employee.FirstName = rdr.IsDBNull(indexFirstName))? 
                     String.Empty: rdr.GetString(indexFirstName);

替换每个属性类型的默认值(当为空时)…
