- ordinal
- Int32
The zero-based column ordinal.
Returns
The Type that is the data type of the object.
Exceptions
The index passed was outside the range of 0 to FieldCount - 1.
An attempt was made to read or access a column in a closed DataTableReader.
Remarks
Because the DataTableReader always returns the type stored within the underlying DataColumn, the value returned by calling the GetProviderSpecificFieldType method always returns the same type as the type stored within the DataTable. When you work with the DataTableReader class, calling the GetProviderSpecificFieldType method returns the same type as calling the GetType method.
