I just discovered this behavior (by accident thanks to a check constraint) and I think it is a mistake. I wonder how many devs are now inadvertently saving empty strings into their db instead of null? :-).
This is kinda related and I thought it could help those who somehow reached this page. I am working with ASP.NET MVC 3 and in this version when an empty text box is posted to the server it's bound as null to the model.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
