NpgsqlDataReaderSafety

This is a simple tool to avoid exceptions with get methods on DataReader class. With extension methods we can simple the get data action on data reader, and receive a null value of each type when call a get method of same type.

Usage Example And Explanations

When, in a DataReader object we call get method like this

while(dataReader.Read()){
    people.Age = dataReader.GetInt32(0);
}

If database field in 0 position is null, we receive an exception. Following the documentation of Npgsql we can found a boolean method to check if the value is null called IsDBNull, and our code will stay like this

while(dataReader.Read()){
    if (!if(dataReader.IsDBNull(0)){
        people.Age = dataReader.GetInt32(0);
    }
}

The problem was solved, but we add some lines of code in our software and it got a little bit more unreadable for me. To handle with this I created this extension methods and I'd like to share. So our code will stay like this

while(dataReader.Read()){
    people.Age = dataReader.GetSafetyInt32(0);
}

To do

  • Add more type of extension methods
  • Add Try blocks to handle knowled exceptions
