The DataColumn's DataType property returns the data type.

The field value (Integer, String, whatever) has a GetType method returning
the value's data type. In VB.Net you can also use "If TypeOf FieldValue Is
...."
b) Get Allow null (if i read AllowDBNull this returns always True)


No, don't /read/ it, /set/ it. If you don't set it, it's True by default.
The property determines whether the field can be null in the datatable, not
whether it can be null in the database. You should set the property
according to the field definition in the database.

To find out whether Null is allowed, read the table schema by using the
GetOleDbSchemaT able method of the OleDbConnection .

I have a dataset that has DBNull in certain columns, now when I write out this one to XML, I only get the columns as elements that do have data in it. However I do need also the empty colums as empty elements in the XML. How to do that ? I don't understand why there is no simple option to specify the output format, or did I miss something ? regards andreas

I am having no problems connecting to a DB, creating a DataAdapter, and creating a dataset...and connecting to the data. Using the builtin data objects to do all this.

I need to custom build and use a dataset in c# to use with xml. Does anybody know where I can find out how to do something like this? I was going to create a class that generated the dataset and its data to hide all of the complex (or should I say the huge chuncks of code) from the page itself.

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