Remarks

Sometimes the user might enter an empty string for a field value when updating or inserting records. Use the BoundField.ConvertEmptyStringToNull property to specify whether an empty string value is automatically converted to null when the data field is updated in the data source.

Note:

By default, a System.Web.UI.WebControls.BoundField object displays null values as empty strings. To display a different value, set the BoundField.NullDisplayText property.
