Working with SqlTypes 

ADO.NET 2.0 includes enhanced type support for the DataSet using System.Data.SqlTypes. System.Data.SqlTypes are designed to provide data types with the same semantics and precision as the data types in a SQL Server database. Each data type in System.Data.SqlTypes has an equivalent data type in SQL Server 2005, with the same underlying data representation.
