Answer 1

Use the null coalescing or conditional operators in your anonymous projection to map out the null:

Coalescing:

var d = (from s in db.TblSpareParts
  select new 
  { 
    s.SPartName,
    ...,
    SPartSalePrice = s.SPartSalePrice ?? 0.0,
    ...
  }).ToArray();

Conditional (Not really useful for nulls, but useful for projecting other values)

  SPartSalePrice = s.SPartSalePrice == null ? 0.0 : s.SPartSalePrice,

The field needs to be given a name (I've kept the original one, SPartSalePrice), and the type of substitution (0.0) should match the type of the field.

Answer 2

maybe One of your object values is Null. try something like that

        private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RST_DBDataContext db = new RST_DBDataContext();
        var d = (from s in db.TblSpareParts
                                    select new {  
                                                    s.SPartName?? DBNull.Value, 
                                                    s.SPartCode?? DBNull.Value, 
                                                    s.ModelID ?? DBNull.Value, 
                                                    s.SPartLocation ?? DBNull.Value,  
                                                    s.SPartActive ?? DBNull.Value, 
                                                    s.SPartSalePrice ?? DBNull.Value, 
                                                }).ToArray();
        CrystalReport1 c = new CrystalReport1();
        c.SetDataSource(d);
        crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = c;

    }
