I was trying to download your file attached to this page, but it was pointing most likely to your old site.

Is it possible for you to mail me the code so I can explore it, or just update the link above ?

Thank you in advance

Good catch. My team actually has several more overloads on this method, including one that has an additional parameter of type T that allows you to specify the desired "default value". In this case, you could call the code as follows:

theatre_code = reader.GetValueOrDefault<string>("theatre_code", String.Empty);

Cheers,

Scott

Rob, can you put the full class code up on this comments page?

Second line of original code assumes that String.Empty will be used if reader returns DBNull type. Refactored code will return (string)null. Be careful :)

Yeah, there are still applications that have been written without NHibernate -- and many good ones. The question I'd ask is rather -- how about LLBLGen or ADO.NET Entity Framework vs. NHibernate...

Furthermore, when you think of the size/scale of the application in question -- development started in 2005 and is still underway (with ~1.5MM lines of code, between C# and PL/SQL, and not to say that metric is good or valid for anything, it just speaks to the shear volume of this bloody app.)

Bravo on the Lambda, looks pretty sexy.

If you download the attached file, there is an overloaded method that includes the ordinal (by using GetName(int ordinal) and passing that to the other method.)

Cheers,

Scott

There's someone still writing code like this?

Why?

How many years ago was NHibernate released?

Doh, this version does use the string and gets the ordinal.

Another version uses the ordinal for code gen'd stuff, sorry for the confusion. You get the idea though.
