index

The zero-based column ordinal.

This method returns only a boolean value: true if the specified column is equivalent to DBNull; otherwise, false.

The property is read only with no default value.

Call this method to check for null column values before calling the typed get methods ( for example, GetByte, GetChar, and so on ) to avoid raising an error.
