Description

« Hide

Currently there is no way to know if a user entered the default value for an object (as defined in acceptableErrorValue) or if he didn't supply any value.
If the user doesn't supply a value, the object should be left null and no tinitialized to a default value.

I don't think there's any way to resolve this issue. When someone fills out a form, we won't know whether they entered an empty string or just didn't fill in an entry at all, so we can never know when to use null and when to instantiate an object.

All I want is a check, if the string to be converted is the empty string, to return null and not 0

When a text box is not filled, the browser sends the empty string
=> "" == null
