A 32-bit error code (DBTYPE_ERROR). This maps to Exception.

Filetime 64

A 64-bit unsigned integer representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601 (DBTYPE_FILETIME). This maps to DateTime.

Guid 72

A globally unique identifier (or GUID) (DBTYPE_GUID). This maps to Guid.

IDispatch 9

A pointer to an IDispatch interface (DBTYPE_IDISPATCH). This maps to Object.

This data type is not currently supported by ADO.NET. Its usage may cause unpredictable results.

Numeric 131

An exact numeric value with a fixed precision and scale (DBTYPE_NUMERIC). This maps to Decimal.

PropVariant 138

An automation PROPVARIANT (DBTYPE_PROP_VARIANT). This maps to Object.

Single 4

A floating-point number within the range of -3.40E +38 through 3.40E +38 (DBTYPE_R4). This maps to Single.

SmallInt 2

A 16-bit signed integer (DBTYPE_I2). This maps to Int16.

TinyInt 16

A 8-bit signed integer (DBTYPE_I1). This maps to SByte.

A 64-bit unsigned integer (DBTYPE_UI8). This maps to UInt64.

UnsignedInt 19

A 32-bit unsigned integer (DBTYPE_UI4). This maps to UInt32.

UnsignedSmallInt 18

A 16-bit unsigned integer (DBTYPE_UI2). This maps to UInt16.

UnsignedTinyInt 17

A 8-bit unsigned integer (DBTYPE_UI1). This maps to Byte.

VarBinary 204

A variable-length stream of binary data (OleDbParameter only). This maps to an Array of type Byte.

VarChar 200

A variable-length stream of non-Unicode characters (OleDbParameter only). This maps to String.

Variant 12

A special data type that can contain numeric, string, binary, or date data, and also the special values Empty and Null (DBTYPE_VARIANT). This type is assumed if no other is specified. This maps to Object.

VarNumeric 139

A variable-length numeric value (OleDbParameter only). This maps to Decimal.

VarWChar 202

A variable-length, null-terminated stream of Unicode characters (OleDbParameter only). This maps to String.

WChar 130

A null-terminated stream of Unicode characters (DBTYPE_WSTR). This maps to String.

Remarks

The preceding table shows mappings between OleDbType data types, OLE DB data types (shown in parentheses), and the .NET Framework types. The OleDbType data types accept System.Char[] as Parameter.Value in parameterized queries.
