SQL decimal conversion error
- by jakesankey
Hey, my app parses numerous txt files in a directory that are almost all formatted identically, then inserts the values into columns of my sql db. However, there are a few files that the app has come across where a value is 'blank' instead of '0.0', so the application fails stating that it cannot convert that value to numeric.
Is there a way I could change the following code to say what says AND also add 'IF value is blank, then import 0.0 instead?
foreach (SqlParameter parameter in insertCommand.Parameters)
{
parameter.Value = null;
}
string[] values = line.Split(new[] { ',' });
for (int i = 0; i < values.Length - 1; i++)
{
// if (i = "" || i = null) continue;
SqlParameter param = insertCommand.Parameters[i];
if (param.DbType == DbType.Decimal)
{
decimal value;
param.Value = decimal.TryParse(values[i], out value) ? value : 0;
}
else
{
param.Value = values[i];
}
}
