GetProviderSpecificValues Method

In This Topic

Gets all column values for the current row. If possible, a provider-specific type is used.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Function GetProviderSpecificValues( _
   ByVal values() As Object _
) As Integer

public override int GetProviderSpecificValues( 
   object[] values
)

Parameters

values: An array of System.Object into which to copy the column values.

Return Value

The number of instances of System.Object in the array.

Remarks

This method is equivalent to the GetValues method, the only difference is that this method uses a provider-specific type whenever possible.

Example

csharp

static void GetMyValues(DB2Connection myConnection) {
  DB2Command cmd = new DB2Command("SELECT * FROM Dept");
  cmd.Connection = myConnection;
  myConnection.Open();
  try
  {
    DB2DataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
    reader.Read();

    object[] someValues = new object[5];
    int number = reader.GetProviderSpecificValues(someValues);

    for (short i = 0; i < number; i++)
    {
      Console.WriteLine(someValues[i].ToString());
    }

    reader.Close();
  }
  finally
  {
    myConnection.Close();
  }
}

Visual Basic

Shared Sub GetMyValues(ByVal myConnection As DB2Connection)
  Dim cmd As New DB2Command("SELECT * FROM Dept")
  cmd.Connection = myConnection
  myConnection.Open()
  Try
    Dim reader As DB2DataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader
    reader.Read()
    Dim someValues As Object() = New Object() {}
    Dim number As Integer = reader.GetProviderSpecificValues(someValues)
    For i As Short = 0 To number - 1
      Console.WriteLine(someValues(i).ToString)
    Next i
    reader.Close()
  Finally
    myConnection.Close()
  End Try
End Sub
