Getting a Specific Object - System.Data.Sql DbType.Int

Hi Team,

I am having a string as "System.Data.Sq lDbType.Int". Now I want to convert
this string type to actual type to use with my Command object Parameter
Creation. How I will convert this string to the type object ?.
Thanks in advance

That won't work for two reasons:

1) System.Data.Sql DbType.Int isn't a type. System.Data.Sql DbType is a
type (an enumeration, in fact) and Int is a member of the enumeration.

2) Type.GetType ("System.Data.S qlDbType") will return null anyway,
because the type lives in System.Data.dll , not mscorlib or the assembly
the code will be running in. You need to specify the full assembly name
to get types from other assemblies.

Well, we'll need a bit more information. Is it *always* going to be one
of the SqlDbTypes? If not, is there some range it'll be in?

Hi,

It will be always of "SqlDBTypes ". At runtime I will be getting the type
information as "String" and I want to add parameters to my command object
accordingly. Please let me know the solution as early as possible.

Thanks

In that case, just strip off the bit before the last dot (or just get
your uses to pass "Int" instead) and use
Enum.Parse(type of(SqlDbTypes), name)

Agree with that. It's me being lazy not to look up in MSDN (I don't use ADO
..NET in the recent months). Apologies to the original poster.
2) Type.GetType ("System.Data.S qlDbType") will return null anyway,
because the type lives in System.Data.dll , not mscorlib or the assembly
the code will be running in. You need to specify the full assembly name
to get types from other assemblies.
I thought that since System.Data.dll was already loaded to the application
domain, type resolution wouldn't need specifying the assembly name. It's
never late to learn!

It's a pain that there isn't a way of doing basically that. Of course,
System.Data.dll may not have been loaded yet - the assembly isn't (as I
understand it) loaded until it's first actually referenced.

If you try this program:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Threadin g;

class MainClass
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLi ne ("Hello, world.");
Thread.Sleep(50 00);
OtherClass.DoSo methingDataRela ted();
Thread.Sleep(50 00);
}
}

class OtherClass
{
public static void DoSomethingData Related()
{
// Quick way of avoiding inlining without
// remembering the attribute name to do it
// properly :)
if (DateTime.Now.T icks==0)
throw new Exception();

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
}
}

from Visual Studio, watching the Output window, you'll see a 5 second
pause between the start and when the data (and related) assemblies are
loaded.

You can load all referenced assemblies by looking at
Assembly.GetRef erencedAssembli es() and loading them recursively. You
could *then* call GetType on each of the assemblies in turn until you
find the right one. Bit grotty though :(

I think that will solve my problem. But if possible, please let me know
the exact synatax .
I tryed like below. But not working,
objCmd.Paramete rs.Add(objDRTmp["ParamName"].ToString(),
Enum.Parse(type of(SqlDbType), "Int"), intSize)

Thank U.

Thanks to anyone in advance who can help :) Ok, I know this is a far stretch, but what I'm trying to do is to cast a System.object as one of the SqlDbType enumerations (SqlDbType.Int, -.NVarchar, etc.) Is this anyway possible? Through inheritance, or anything?
