Chapter 38. The System.Data.SqlTypes Namespace
The
System.Data.SqlTypes namespace contains classes
for SQL Server’s native data types, such as
money, tinyint, and
varchar. These classes can provide faster access
(because typecasting isn’t required), and eliminate
conversion errors. Chapter 5 describes the
DataReader methods you can use to retrieve
database values in their native format. However, this technique is
rarely required. Figure 38-1 shows the types in this
namespace.
