Name You can't call a method on a null value expression. Nullable[Int32] 1. Name Int32 Any help is appreciated! Monday, October 18, PM. Hi, The idea of [System. Monday, November 22, PM. Have you tried this? Thursday, October 21, PM.
Sunday, November 7, PM. Actually no. Name I do get the same exception as above then. How about you? Wednesday, November 10, PM. GetType You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
Wednesday, November 17, PM. Wait a minute You got me completely lost now So the question is still valid: How can a Nullable object be created? Thursday, November 18, PM. So basically I want to create a variable of, e. Does this information help you? Friday, November 19, PM.
Hi, Sorry, I am not familiar with SqlParameter objects, so the information doesn't help. OK, so how do you create nullable variables then? Say int? You can also use the ContainsKey method to check for the property. I am a defensive scripter. But if I can test for an error condition or an empty set of results, I can allow my exception handling be for true exceptions.
I already covered those scenarios earlier in this post. It's important to know that different functions and commands handle the no results scenario differently. But others throw exceptions or give you a status object. It's still up to you to know how the commands you use deal with the no results and error scenarios. One habit that I have picked up is initializing all my variables before I use them.
You are required to do this in other languages. At the top of my function or as I enter a foreach loop, I define all the values that I'm using. Here is a scenario that I want you to take a close look at. It's an example of a bug I had to chase down before. If there is an error, we log it. Then we check to make sure we got a valid result before processing it. Update-Something to execute multiple times on the same object in this example. This also helps mitigate scoping issues.
But because PowerShell allows variable values from outside the function to bleed into the scope of the current function, initializing them inside your function mitigates bugs that can be introduced that way. The parent scope could be another function that calls your function and uses the same variable names. If I take that same Do-something example and remove the loop, I would end up with something that looks like this example:. Initializing the value inside your function mitigates this issue.
Naming variables is hard and it's common for an author to use the same variable names in multiple functions. So it would be very easy for values from different scopes to show up in places where they should not be. There are times when you have commands that output information or objects that you want to suppress. I don't like the way it looks in my code but it often performs faster than Out-Null. If you're dealing with command-line executables that output on the different streams.
I covered a lot of ground on this one and I know this article is more fragmented than most of my deep dives. If your answer is "yes," you know what to do. Dive in and help somebody!
