System.Data.OleDb Namespace   OleDbParameter Class

Sets or retrieves the native data type of the parameter.

The property is read/write with a default value of Variant.

IDataParameter.DbType

Use the DBType property to specify or determine the native data type of a given parameter.

DbType and OleDbType are linked. Setting the DbType changes the OleDbType to a supported OleDbType enum value.

The following example initializes an OleDbParameter and sets some of its properties.

public void CreateOleDbParameter ( ) {
   OleDbParameter myParam = new OleDbParameter ( "Description", DbType.VarChar, 100 );
   myParam.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
}

Public Sub CreateOleDbParameter ( )
   Dim myParam As New OleDbParameter ( "Description", DbType.VarChar, 100 )
   myParam.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
End Sub
