Note: This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 1.1 of the .NET Framework.

Reads a stream of characters from the specified column offset into the buffer as an array starting at the given buffer offset.

  [Visual Basic]
  Public Overridable Function GetChars( _
   ByVal 
  ordinal
   As Integer, _
   ByVal dataIndex As Long, _
   ByVal buffer() As Char, _
   ByVal bufferIndex As Integer, _
   ByVal length As Integer _
) As Long Implements IDataRecord.GetChars
[C#]
public virtual long GetChars(int ordinal,long dataIndex,char[] buffer,int bufferIndex,int length
);
[C++]
public: virtual __int64 GetChars(int ordinal,__int64 dataIndex,__wchar_t buffer __gc[],int bufferIndex,int length
);
[JScript]
public function GetChars(
   ordinal : int,
 dataIndex : long,
 buffer : Char[],
 bufferIndex : int,
 length : int) : long;

Parameters

ordinal
The zero-based column ordinal.
dataIndex
The index within the row from which to begin the read operation.
buffer
The buffer into which to copy data.
bufferIndex
The index for buffer to begin the read operation.
length
The number of characters to read.

Return Value

The actual number of characters read.

Implements

IDataRecord.GetChars

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
InvalidOperationException	The operation is not valid. The SqlCeDataReader may be positioned after the last row in the result set.

Remarks

GetChars returns the number of available characters in the field. In most cases, this is the exact length of the field. However, the number returned may be less than the true length of the field if GetChars has already been used to obtain characters from the field. This may be the case, for example, when the SqlCeDataReader is reading a large data structure into a buffer. For more information, see the SequentialAccess setting for CommandBehavior.

If you pass a buffer that is null, GetChars returns the length of the field in characters.

No conversions are performed; therefore, the data retrieved must already be a character array.

Requirements
