dbnull

hi there

i am doing a query thus:

int numberInInterval = (from dsStatistics.J2RespondentRow item in jStats.J2Respondent
                   where item.EndTime > dtIntervalLower && item.EndTime <= dtIntervalUpper
                   select item).count();

there appear to be some dbnulls in the endtime column.. any way i can avoid these?

tried adding && where item.endtime != null.. and even != dbnull.value

do i have to do a second (first) query to grab all that arent null then run the above one?

im sure its super simple fix, but im still missing it.. as per

thanks nat
