Please try this.

case when isnull([sales ID],'')='' then 'Null'
else convert(varchar,[sales ID])
end

Solution 3

C#

select Top 1 
COALESCE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,datetest.ID),'blank')+'#'+
COALESCE(Name,'blank')+'#'+
COALESCE(loc,'blank')+'#'+
COALESCE(convert(varchar,joindate),'blank')+'#'+
COALESCE(case when convert(varchar,active)=1 then 'true' else 'false' end,'blank')
 from tbl_emp

This is working perfectly
