DataType

I just can not figure out how to provide the information correctly to this
method...

When creating a DataParameter, one of the properties which need to be set
is the datatype. To do this, I would do the following..

dc.DataType = typeof(string)

This of course assumes the datatyp that I an trying to set up is "string".

Now, let's say I want to retrieve the "DbType" of a column and then set
this "DbType" in another column. How do I do this.

I can not do this..

DbType myType = dc.DataType as this return "Type" not DbType

I tried DbType myType = (DbType) dc.DataType, but this does not work either

So do I get the DbType from a column to set the col.DbType property?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Hello, I have a stored procedure and the return data type is number(16) as you can see. but I get it back in the code as a var_numeric and then the precision depends on the value of the returndata. So 0 fits into a short so I have to convert to a short, although I say that my stored procedure has to return a NUMBER(16), thus int. Can anyone tell me how I can determine my return datatype beforehand?

Hi folks, I've got a program which has a function which uses templates to accept parameters of any type. Works well, but there's one certain datatype which I want to special case and do an extra thing to. The datatype is a class I made.

In VB, to know the field type of a column stored in a recordset the command I use is If rsQuery.Fields(k).Type = adCurrency Then How will I achieve the same in ASP.net. I could not find a currency data type in asp.net and the type is idenfied as decimal. I have two fields defined in Sql-Server, one is money and other is decimal. In asp.net both are identified as decimal.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
