type conversion issue.

its on .net 2.0

I am calling a stored procedure which returns value SCOPE_INDENTITY () ,
when i try to convert the result from object to int, it throws a type
conversion error...

after some hit and trials i figured out that the returned type is
actually decimal ..,
hence

int i = (int) DataStore.Execu teScalar(.....) , throws an error

while

decimal d = (decimal) DataStore.Execu teScalar(.....) , works fine ....
is this consistent, is there a ADO.Net conversion map somewhere for SQL
Server ?
regards

Ashish,

I don't know of where there is a map, but what is the type of your
identity field in SQL?

the identity field is of type int, another point is that iam using Data
Application Block to access the and they are on 1.1, and my application
is on 2.0, can that cause a problem ?

Another point is that when i return

SELECT SCOPE_INDENTITY ()

the type returned is System.Decimal

and when i return

SELECT uid FROM Addresses
Then the return value is System.Int32... .

looks like sql_variant is being converted to decimal somehow ...

can someone confirm this ?
regards

Hi. Recently I made a small script to do some file transferring (among other things). I wanted to monitor the progress of the file transfer, so I needed to know the size of the files I was transferring. Finding out how to get this information took some time (reading the manuals - googling did not prove worthwhile). Anyway, I did eventually figure out how to do it (there are a few ways, including os.path.getsize(filename)). My...

How does automatic type casting happen in vb.net? I notice that databinder.eval "uses reflectoin" to find out the type it's dealing with. Does vb.net do the same thing behind the scenes when an invisible cast is made? Is there any reason why one would use databinder.eval while in VB.NET? I can see why one might use it in C# so as to avoid specifying the type for the cast but since this is not necessary in VB.NET, I'm not sure I follow. ...

Data stored on a storage device is byte swapped. The data is big endian and my PC is little. At issue: There's a composite type ( a header ) at the front of the files that I'm trying to read in. I'm trying to _simulate_ the endian conversion in code below but I'm just wondering if there's an ideal way to do this besides what's shown? Padding produces some interesting results. Notice how the parameter d is different in the print outs...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
