I got through fixing all the null handling errors I was seeing on my dev site. Everything works great. So I bundle up the module and install it on production. Arrgh, I get:

InnerException: Invalid cast from 'System.Int16' to 'System.Nullable`1[[System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]'.

FileName:

FileLineNumber: 0

FileColumnNumber: 0

Method: System.Convert.DefaultToType

StackTrace:

Message: DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Invalid cast from 'System.Int16' to 'System.Nullable`1[[System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]'. ---> System.InvalidCastException: Invalid cast from 'System.Int16' to 'System.Nullable`1[[System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]'. at System.Convert.DefaultToType(IConvertible value, Type targetType, IFormatProvider provider) at System.Int16.System.IConvertible.ToType(Type type, IFormatProvider provider) at System.Convert.ChangeType(Object value, Type conversionType, IFormatProvider provider) at DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.CBO.HydrateObject(Object hydratedObject, IDataReader dr) at DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.CBO.FillObjectFromReader(Object objObject, IDataReader dr) at DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.CBO.CreateObjectFromReader(Type objType, IDataReader dr, Boolean closeReader) at DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.CBO.FillListFromReader(Type objType, IDataReader dr, IList objList, Boolean closeReader) at DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.CBO.FillCollection(IDataReader dr, Type objType) at Crewstone.Modules.RaceBaseCS.Components.RaceRegistrationController.GetItem(Int32 RaceId, Int32 PortalId) at Crewstone.Modules.RaceBaseCS.RaceRegistrationView.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace -

 

No way to reproduce this on the dev site, so I'm at a loss how to fix it and that part of the prod site in now down.

it's impossible to say as the error is in your custom code - typically if theres a difference between dev and production environments it's either a difference in environment (e.g. application pool pipeline type, .net version or sql version), or a difference in configuration (e.g. dev has a standard en-us case insensitive install of sql, but production uses a case or accent sensitive collation), or a difference in data (the code works in dev as some table has a value/values that is missing in production, or else the dev table has a different schema than production). In each case the simplest thing to do is verify that dev and production environments and configuration match and if they do, then get a backup of production and restore it locally and debug there.

The error is specific to nullable types in a object. I can't use ihydratable because the SQL is join without a single integer key. From some googling I found comments that CBO doesn't support nullable types, and I removed them and reinstalled the module and everything works in production. Production is 7.1.1, dev is 7.2. At this point I don't know if something changed in CBO between 7.1 and 7.2, or there's something else going on.

FYI nullable type support was added a while back (based on a pull request at https://github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Pl... ) - unfortunately the user attached the pull to the wrong issue, and we also had to manually merge it, so the version history is a bit awkward to work out but it was changed in 7.2.1 - https://github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Pl... . I don't understand why your dev would work as it's 7.2.0 though

That explains it, I double checked and while I initially created by dev site at 7.2 I forgot I later ran an upgrade to 7.2.2. 

From the looks of it I think an upgrade to 7.3.x for both is the most practical solution.
