DataTableReader.GetProviderSpecificFieldType(Int32) Method

Definition

Gets the type of the specified column in provider-specific format.

public:
 override Type ^ GetProviderSpecificFieldType(int ordinal);
public override Type GetProviderSpecificFieldType (int ordinal);
override this.GetProviderSpecificFieldType : int -> Type
Public Overrides Function GetProviderSpecificFieldType (ordinal As Integer) As Type

Parameters

ordinal
Int32

The zero-based column ordinal.

Returns

The Type that is the data type of the object.

Exceptions

The index passed was outside the range of 0 to FieldCount - 1.

An attempt was made to read or access a column in a closed DataTableReader.

Remarks

Because the DataTableReader always returns the type stored within the underlying DataColumn, the value returned by calling the GetProviderSpecificFieldType method always returns the same type as the type stored within the DataTable. When you work with the DataTableReader class, calling the GetProviderSpecificFieldType method returns the same type as calling the GetType method.
