public:
property bool AllowEmptyStrings { bool get(); void set(bool value); };public bool AllowEmptyStrings { get; set; }member this.AllowEmptyStrings : bool with get, setPublic Property AllowEmptyStrings As BooleanProperty Value
true if an empty string is allowed; otherwise, false. The default value is false.
Remarks
When you set AllowEmptyStrings to true for a data field, Dynamic Data does not perform validation and transforms the empty string to a null value. This value is then passed to the database.
If the database does not allow null values, it raises an error. To avoid this error, you must also set the ConvertEmptyStringToNull to false.
