C# DataView RowFilter, null value for DateTime column

7.3k Views Asked by At

I'm trying to filter on null columns (I only want to show rows where the column is null), but the issue is I can't compare the column to a null, since the column is of DateTime value.

I get the following error

System.Data.EvaluateException: Cannot perform '=' operation on System.DateTime and System.String.

This is my code for the filter

CourseID IN (" + courseIds + ") AND Isnull(DateBooked, 'Null Column') = 'Null Column'

DateBooked is the column with DateTime value. Everything before the Isnull is functioning correctly. Help please!

Doesn't isnull always return a value of the same type as its first parameter?

Try DateBooked IS NULL instead of Isnull(DateBooked, 'Null Column') = 'Null Column'.
