1. DbType ==>Type:
public static DbType TypeToDbType(Type t) { DbType dbt; try { dbt = (DbType)Enum.Parse(typeof(DbType), t.Name); } catch { dbt = DbType.Object; } return dbt; }
2. Type ==> DbType:
static Type ConvertType(DbType dbType) { Type toReturn = typeof(DBNull); switch (dbType) { case DbType.UInt64: toReturn = typeof(UInt64); break; case DbType.Int64: toReturn = typeof(Int64); break; case DbType.Int32: toReturn = typeof(Int32); break; case DbType.UInt32: toReturn = typeof(UInt32); break; case DbType.Single: toReturn = typeof(float); break; case DbType.Date: case DbType.DateTime: case DbType.Time: toReturn = typeof(DateTime); break; case DbType.String: case DbType.StringFixedLength: case DbType.AnsiString: case DbType.AnsiStringFixedLength: toReturn = typeof(string); break; case DbType.UInt16: toReturn = typeof(UInt16); break; case DbType.Int16: toReturn = typeof(Int16); break; case DbType.SByte: toReturn = typeof(byte); break; case DbType.Object: toReturn = typeof(object); break; case DbType.VarNumeric: case DbType.Decimal: toReturn = typeof(decimal); break; case DbType.Currency: toReturn = typeof(double); break; case DbType.Binary: toReturn = typeof(byte[]); break; case DbType.Double: toReturn = typeof(Double); break; case DbType.Guid: toReturn = typeof(Guid); break; case DbType.Boolean: toReturn = typeof(bool); break; } return toReturn; }
