SqlCommand.ExecuteScalar avoid null

Question

The thing is I have this code

var ojv = xmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString();
        if (ojv != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ojv);
            var up = CreateQuery();
            up.CommandText = "UPDATE characters SET items=@items WHERE accId=@accId AND charId=@charId;";
            up.Parameters.AddWithValue("@items", ojv);
            up.Parameters.AddWithValue("@accId", acc.AccountId);
            up.Parameters.AddWithValue("@charId", charId);
            up.ExecuteNonQuery();
            var del = CreateQuery();
            del.CommandText = "DELETE FROM shop WHERE accId=@accId AND chrId=@chrId;";
            del.Parameters.AddWithValue("@accId", acc.AccountId);
            del.Parameters.AddWithValue("@chrId", charId);
            del.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }

But if theres no ovj it return null, I need to avoid that, is there any way so the ExecuteScalar wont return null if no value is found?

Answer 1

ExecuteScalar返回一个数字，如果没有结果集，则返回null，因此您首先需要检查null（在应用ToString（）之前），然后解析为整数（或大整数，或小数，无论您需要什么）并检查大于零。

Answer 2

Just check for null before you call ToString().

    var result = xmd.ExecuteScalar();
        if (result != null)
        {
            var ojv = result.ToString();
            Console.WriteLine(ojv);
            var up = CreateQuery();
            up.CommandText = "UPDATE characters SET items=@items WHERE accId=@accId AND charId=@charId;";
            up.Parameters.AddWithValue("@items", ojv);
            up.Parameters.AddWithValue("@accId", acc.AccountId);
            up.Parameters.AddWithValue("@charId", charId);
            up.ExecuteNonQuery();
            var del = CreateQuery();
            del.CommandText = "DELETE FROM shop WHERE accId=@accId AND chrId=@chrId;";
            del.Parameters.AddWithValue("@accId", acc.AccountId);
            del.Parameters.AddWithValue("@chrId", charId);
            del.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }
