    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm getting a General Function Failure when I try to use GetString in a row.&lt;BR /&gt;I can get the field information and type without a problem.&lt;BR /&gt;on an integer field I can get the value.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dim myId As Integer = r.GetInteger("OIDN")&lt;BR /&gt;Dim myValue As String = r.GetString("WAARDE")&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In the above code the .GetString is nog working, can someone help me what I'm doing wrong?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I realize this is late help, but maybe it will help others. You need to check IsNull first on desired field:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="csharp"&gt;            if (!row.IsNull(fieldName))
            {
                var value = row.GetString(fieldName);
                return value;
            }&lt;/LI-CODE&gt;&lt;P&gt;It applies to all Get* methods.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
