Hello,

I am throwing together a proof-of-concept application using StrataFrame.  We have several fields in our SQL datatables that allow null's (in fact most of them).  

Say I have a birthdate field in a personmaster table.   If the value is null, the bo throws an exception when I navigate to the record.  I have tried setting the alternate value on null to several things such as System.DBNull and System.DBNull.Value etc.  However it will not compile.

How does everyone else handle null values in their BO's especially datetime type fields?

Thanks!

Wonderful.  I can wait for the fix since I am just evaluating and creating a POC application.  I thought I was doing something wrong.  Glad to hear you have a fix for it.

Just so it makes a little sense....we enhanced the DateTimePicker in the last update which introduced the minor issue...as luck would have it, you ran into the obscure requirements for this to happen   At any rate, you can get it in your next update and it will resolve itself.

Lucky me!   On a lighter note, thank you for developing such a wonderful framework!   Did you guys ever give Clarion a peek?  It does a lot of what you are accomplishing with StrataFrame and more.  However, the company that develops the language has lagged behind in technology over the years and the company I work for has had enough...which is the reason why we are moving to .NET.

If you want a RDC/VNC/PCAnywhere demo of the product, please let me know.  I would be more than happy to show you the power of Clarion so you can replicate it <grin>.
