Public Function GetChars (i As Integer, dataIndex As Long, buffer As Char(), bufferIndex As Integer, length As Integer) As Long

Parameters

i
Int32

Column ordinal.

dataIndex
Int64

Buffer to copy data into.

buffer
Char[]

Maximum length to copy into the buffer.

bufferIndex
Int32

Point to start from within the buffer.

length
Int32

Point to start from within the source data.

Returns

The value of the specified column.

Remarks

No conversions are performed; therefore the data retrieved must already be a character array.
