Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Services.SupportEntities
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Services (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Services.dll)

Syntax

'宣言
Function IsNullItem ( _
    name As String _
) As Boolean

bool IsNullItem(
    string name
)

bool IsNullItem(
    String^ name
)

abstract IsNullItem : 
        name:string -> bool 

function IsNullItem(
    name : String
) : boolean

Parameters

• name
  Type: System.String
  The name of the data item to examine.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the item is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), that is, unspecified; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Calling this method to determine whether a value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) performs better than retrieving the value to determine whether it is equal to Value, because the latter causes the entire value to be read from the data reader instance.
