Linda,
>This is a reference to a dataset created from a business object built by the business layer generator. In the business object, the field is defined as 'int' without the ? but the get statement returns a nullable value. In my statement -- if (!mmType.IsEmpty(pe.parish)) --, the pe is a reference to the entity object. Do I need to create a variable of type int? and test that rather than the dataset field value?
Are you saying the pe.Parish property is NOT nullable, but it contains a null value? Is it null because you have created a new record?
