Example
This sample demonstrates usage of Item property. It retrieves data from a column of composite type in a table and renders the data to console. To run the samples successfully you have to create server objects with the following script: CREATE TYPE tperson AS (name text, age integer); CREATE TABLE personnel (id integer, person tperson);
static void ReadData(PgSqlConnection conn)  
{ 
  string str = "SELECT * FROM personnel"; 
  PgSqlCommand pgCommand = new PgSqlCommand(str,conn); 
  PgSqlDataReader pgReader = pgCommand.ExecuteReader(); 
  while (pgReader.Read())  
  { 
    Console.Write(pgReader.GetInt32(0) + "\t"); 
    PgSqlRow pgRow = pgReader.GetPgSqlRow(1);
    if (pgRow == null) 
    {
      Console.WriteLine();
      continue;
    }
    Console.Write(pgRow[0] + "\t");
    Console.WriteLine(pgRow["age"]);
  } 
  pgReader.Close(); 
}
Sub ReadData(ByVal conn As PgSqlConnection)
  Dim str As String = "SELECT * FROM personnel"
  Dim pgCommand As PgSqlCommand = New PgSqlCommand(str, conn)
  Dim pgReader As PgSqlDataReader = pgCommand.ExecuteReader()
  While pgReader.Read()
    Console.Write(pgReader.GetInt32(0) & Chr(9))
    Dim pgRow As PgSqlRow = pgReader.GetPgSqlRow(1)
    If pgRow Is Nothing Then
      Console.WriteLine()
    Else
      Console.Write(pgRow(0) & Chr(9))
      Console.WriteLine(pgRow("age"))
    End If
  End While
  pgReader.Close()
End Sub
