SqlMetaData Class
Specifies and retrieves metadata information from parameters and columns of SqlDataRecord objects. This class cannot be inherited.
Assembly: System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
The following example shows the creation of several SqlMetaData objects, which describe the column metadata of a record, and the creation of a SqlDataRecord. The column values of the SqlDataRecord are set and the SqlDataRecord is sent to the calling program using the SqlContext class.
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure] public static void CreateNewRecord() { // Variables. SqlMetaData column1Info; SqlMetaData column2Info; SqlMetaData column3Info; SqlDataRecord record; // Create the column metadata. column1Info = new SqlMetaData("Column1", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 12); column2Info = new SqlMetaData("Column2", SqlDbType.Int); column3Info = new SqlMetaData("Column3", SqlDbType.DateTime); // Create a new record with the column metadata. record = new SqlDataRecord(new SqlMetaData[] { column1Info, column2Info, column3Info }); // Set the record fields. record.SetString(0, "Hello World!"); record.SetInt32(1, 42); record.SetDateTime(2, DateTime.Now); // Send the record to the calling program. SqlContext.Pipe.Send(record); }
