Hi,

I am inserting Date as 1/1/1900 into Oracle database if that specific field is empty, as Oracle doesn't accept null values for the date.But while retrieving the same to grid view i want to show the field with date as 1/1/1900 as empty or ""
Could you please suggest me the way to archive this.

Thx in adv

You can replace this in your query also .

SQL

SELECT CASE DateValue WHEN '1/1/1900' THEN '' ELSE DateValue END 
FROM table Where Condition =Conditiaonvalue

Solution 1

If this is a Windows Forms app and it is a DataGridView then handle the CellFormatting[^] event. Replace any occurrences of 1/1/1900 with an empty string.

Hi
tnx for the reply,
i am using doing this in Web application not windows. Is it the same can be done in web also?

See Rahul's reply, as this would be a good solution. You might also be able to use the RowDataBound event example -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479342.aspx (scroll down to the last code example) where the background is set to yellow you could replace the content.
