DateColumnToDate() [1/2]

static DateTime Ict.Common.TSaveConvert.DateColumnToDate ( DataColumn  ADataColumn, DataRow  ADataRow  )

inlinestatic

Parameters

ADataColumn	DataColumn of Type DateTime
ADataRow	DataRow in which the value is found

Returns

A valid DateTime

DateColumnToDate() [2/2]

static DateTime Ict.Common.TSaveConvert.DateColumnToDate ( DataColumn  ADataColumn, DataRow  ADataRow, TNullHandlingEnum  ANullHandling  )

inlinestatic

A valid DateTime

ObjectToDate() [1/2]

static DateTime Ict.Common.TSaveConvert.ObjectToDate ( object  ADateObject )

inlinestatic

Converts a date value that is stored in a TObject to a DateTime value that is guaranteed to be valid.

In case the date value in the TObject is empty, the lowest possible date is returned.

Parameters

ADateObject

TObject containing a date value

Returns

A valid DateTime

ObjectToDate() [2/2]

static DateTime Ict.Common.TSaveConvert.ObjectToDate ( object  ADateObject, TNullHandlingEnum  ANullHandling  )

inlinestatic

Converts a date value that is stored in a object to a DateTime value that is guaranteed to be valid.

In case the date value in the object is empty, either the lowest or the highest possible date is returned.

@comment Very useful for untyped data in DataSets that is known to be of DateTime type.

ADateObject	TObject containing a date value
ANullHandling	Switch to return either the lowest (nhReturnLowestDate) or the highest (nhReturnHighestDate) possible date in case the date value in the TObject is empty

Returns

A valid DateTime

StringColumnToString()

static String Ict.Common.TSaveConvert.StringColumnToString ( DataColumn  ADataColumn, DataRow  ADataRow  )

inlinestatic

Converts a DataColumn that holds a String into a String that is guaranteed to be valid.

In case the String value in the DataColumn is DBNull, an empty String ('') is returned.

@comment Very useful for DataColumns in Typed DataTables that are of String type. Using this function, no Exception is thrown when trying to get the value of a DataColumn of Type String that is DBNull.
