SqlDBType size

I have a variable of SqlParameter type called parameter.

I need to find out what the original size is to compare it with the actual
size of my string.

parameter.size gives me the size of the string but not the size of the
varchar I originally set.

I also need to know if it was set to MAX. Is there a way to get this?

I looked at all the attributes in the debugger and can't seem to find it.

Thanks,

Tom

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?

Hello all, I'm in a situation where I need to retrieve a member from the System.Data.SqlDbType enumeration knowing only the type name. At this point, I'm just trying to get reflection to work... This is what I've got so far: using System; using System.Reflection;

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