Hi,
I'm trying to read a single-byte in FB2.0 database as char(1) field with
charset/NONE. I am using the byte as binary information ranging 0-255, not
as a letter in text. With FbDataAdapter's Fill method, the data is
translated into a string in a DataTable. It seems that when the value of the
single-byte data exceeds 127, the byte turns into two-byte unicode char with
a default encoding. I do not want the original single byte to be translated
into unicode char. So I did something like:
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("dtd", typeof (byte)); // "dtd" is the name of the database
field
....
using(DbDataAdapter da = MyFbDataAdapterFactoryMethod(...))
{
da.Fill(dt);
}
then I got an error at Fill() method saying: incorrect input data format, it
should be 'Byte' type (translated into English).
What is a simple way to accomplish this kind of task? I'm new to .NET /.NET
data provider environment. It is a no-brainer with Win32/C++/IBX, but I
cannot figure it out with .NET.
Thanks,
Nobuya
