SqlString Struct

Definition

Represents a variable-length stream of characters to be stored in or retrieved from the database. SqlString has a different underlying data structure from its corresponding .NET String data type.

Remarks

String always uses the default CultureInfo from the current thread, but SqlString contains its own locale Id and compare flags. The comparison result of two SqlString structures is independent of operating system and current thread locale.

When you use SqlString comparison operators, note that if the LCIDs of arguments are different, comparison functions throw an exception because they cannot be compared. For example, the statement

SqlString mySqlString = new SqlString("abc");  

is equivalent to

SqlString mySqlString = new SqlString("abc", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.LCID);  

Constructors

SqlString(Int32, SqlCompareOptions, Byte[])

Initializes a new instance of the SqlString structure using the specified locale id, compare options, and data.

SqlString(Int32, SqlCompareOptions, Byte[], Boolean)

Initializes a new instance of the SqlString class.

SqlString(Int32, SqlCompareOptions, Byte[], Int32, Int32)

Initializes a new instance of the SqlString class.

SqlString(Int32, SqlCompareOptions, Byte[], Int32, Int32, Boolean)

Initializes a new instance of the SqlString class.

SqlString(String)

Initializes a new instance of the SqlString structure using the specified string.

SqlString(String, Int32)

Initializes a new instance of the SqlString structure using the specified string and locale id values.

SqlString(String, Int32, SqlCompareOptions)

Initializes a new instance of the SqlString structure using the specified string, locale id, and compare option values.

Fields

BinarySort

Specifies that sorts should be based on a characters numeric value instead of its alphabetical value.

BinarySort2

Specifies that sorts should be based on a character's numeric value instead of its alphabetical value.

IgnoreCase

Specifies that SqlString comparisons should ignore case.

IgnoreKanaType

Specifies that the string comparison must ignore the Kana type.

IgnoreNonSpace

Specifies that the string comparison must ignore non-space combining characters, such as diacritics.

IgnoreWidth

Specifies that the string comparison must ignore the character width.

Null

Represents a DBNull that can be assigned to this instance of the SqlString structure.

Properties

CompareInfo

Gets the CompareInfo object that defines how string comparisons should be performed for this SqlString structure.

CultureInfo

Gets the CultureInfo structure that represents information about the culture of this SqlString object.

IsNull

Indicates whether this SqlString structure is null.

LCID
