Returns a managed data type based on an Integration Services data type. This method is not CLS-compliant.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.PipelineHost (in microsoft.sqlserver.pipelinehost.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration

/** @attribute CLSCompliantAttribute(false) */ 
protected static Type BufferTypeToDataRecordType (
    DataType type

CLSCompliantAttribute(false) 
protected static function BufferTypeToDataRecordType (
    type : DataType
) : Type

Parameters

type
A value from the DataType enumeration.

Return Value

The managed type that maps to an Integration ServicesDataType.

Remarks

This helper function gets the managed type that corresponds to an Integration ServicesDataType. It is typically used in concert with the ConvertBufferDataTypeToFitManaged method.

Warning

Developers should use the data type mapping methods of the the PipelineComponent class with caution, and may want to code data type mapping methods of their own that are more suited to the unique needs of their custom components. The existing methods do not consider numeric precision or scale, or other properties closely related to the data type itself. Microsoft may modify or remove these methods, or modify the mappings that they perform, in a future version of Integration Services.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
