How to insert NULL into database if form field is empty

Question

I have a form and stored procedure that inserts the data from the form. It works fine except that if a field isn\'t filled in it doesn\'t insert a NULL into SQL

Answer 1

While creating stored procedure make those columns as null which can be null.. like

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[USP_TDS_SaveRecod]

@ID INT,

@CODE  INT,

@FIRSTNAME VARCHAR(8)=NULL,

@CITY VARCHAR(15)=NULL

AS

BEGIN

    .........................

    .........................

    .........................
END

and then in code don't add those parameters which are null..

cmd.Parameters.Add("@ID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = obj.ID;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@CODE", SqlDbType.Int).Value = obj.CODE;
if(pd_first_name.Text != "")
{
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@FIRSTNAME", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = pd_first_name.Text;
}
if(city.Text != "")
{
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@CITY", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = pd_first_name.Text;
}
