IDataRecord.GetFieldType(Int32) Method

Definition

Gets the Type information corresponding to the type of Object that would be returned from GetValue(Int32).

public:
 Type ^ GetFieldType(int i);
public Type GetFieldType (int i);
abstract member GetFieldType : int -> Type
Public Function GetFieldType (i As Integer) As Type

Parameters

i
Int32

The index of the field to find.

Returns

The Type information corresponding to the type of Object that would be returned from GetValue(Int32).

Exceptions

The index passed was outside the range of 0 through FieldCount.

Remarks

This information can be used to increase performance by indicating the strongly-typed accessor to call. (for example, using GetInt32 is roughly ten times faster than using GetValue.)
