Hi,

I need to parse value from a datarow and assign it to another datarow.If the input is valid, then I need to parse it to double or else add a dbnull value to the output.I'm doing the following, is there a better way to do it?

public double? GetVolume(object data)
        {
            string colValue = data == null ? string.Empty : data.ToString();
            double volume;

            if (!Double.TryParse(colValue.ToString(), out volume))
            {
                return null;
            }
            return volume;
        }

public void Assign(DataRow theRowInput,DataRow theRowOutput)
{
double? volume = GetVolume(theRowInput[0]);

if(volumne.HasValue)
theRowOutput[0] = volume.value;
else
theRowOutput[0] = DbNull.Value;

return theRowOutput;
}

Thanks, -M
