    An equivalent to isNull?

    Using the following to pull back a list of events sub pages

    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/descendant::* [
    @isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1'
    and umbraco.library:DateGreaterThanOrEqualToday(umbraco.library:DateAdd(pageDate, 'd', eventDuration))
    ]">

    Is there any way to make the eventDuration have a default value of zero?  Similar to in T-SQL

    isNull(eventDuration, 0)

    I'd rather not be running a check from inside the 'loop'

    Your could write your own extension method for it, where you pass eventDuration and return 0 if the input is empty or null.

    Can I take that as a 'No' in answer to my question?

    Edit: That wasn't meant half as snippily as it sounds

    Well, you could call the extension method in the for-each select, but you will indeed have to make it yourself.

    It's a very small amount of work tho.

    Just create a class with

      public static string WithDefault (string input, string default)
    {
    return string.IsNullOrEmpty(input) ? default : input;
    }

    Build and add dll in the bin folder.

    Then add a line to xsltExteions.config. See:

    In the for-each loop, I'm adding a variable which I'm then testing assigning a value if

    MY_VALUE = '' or MY_VALUE = NaN

    Then using an if before each block of content

    Is there really no way to do this check in the fore-each select?

    Hi Tony,

    I guess you could do something like this:

    <xsl:decimal-format name="Nullify" infinity="0" NaN="0" />
    
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/descendant::*
            [@isDoc]
            [not(umbracoNaviHide = 1)]
            [umbraco.library:DateGreaterThanOrEqualToday(
                umbraco.library:DateAdd(pageDate, 'd', format-number(eventDuration, '0', 'Nullify'))
            )]">
            <!-- Do stuff -->
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>

    Nice.  I've now learnt something new.

    Although, I've abandoned that approach as something in the next step made it easier for me to go back and change how I was doing stuff
