The DataSetFieldSchema type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | DataSetFieldSchema | Initializes a new instance of the DataSetFieldSchema class using a specified DataColumn. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | DataType | Gets the type of data stored in the data field. |
![]() | Identity | Gets a value indicating whether the value of the data field automatically increments for each new row added to the table or view. |
![]() | IsReadOnly | Gets a value indicating whether the DataColumn is read-only. |
![]() | IsUnique | Gets a value indicating whether values in the data field are required to be unique. |
![]() | Length | Gets a value indicating the size of data that can be stored in the data field. |
![]() | Name | Gets the name of the data field. |
![]() | Nullable | Gets a value indicating whether the data field can accept nullptr values. |
![]() | Precision | Gets the maximum number of digits used to represent a numerical value in the data field. |
![]() | PrimaryKey | Gets a value indicating whether the data field is in the primary key for the containing table or view. |
![]() | Scale | Gets the number of decimal places to which numerical values in the data field are resolved. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Use the DataSetFieldSchema class to get the properties of a data field using a DataColumn. You can discover the structure of a data field by using the following properties in this class: DataType, IsReadOnly, Length, Name, and IsUnique. In addition, you can use the Identity property to determine if a data column is set for AutoIncrement, or the PrimaryKey property to determine if a data column is in the primary key.
The DataSetFieldSchema class is used by custom control designer components to provide information about a data field at design time.
To examine the components of data using a DataSet, use the following classes.
