Nullable types in ADO.NET 2.0 datasets?

Post by Traveler » Fri 10 Jun 2005 08:48

The rows classes in typed datasets generated by PostgreSQLDirect .NET for .NET 2.0 still have 1.1-style methods like IsNull and SetNull.

Do you plan to switch to nullable data types for nullable columns (i.e. using "int?" instead of "int") ? Or maybe there is already an option to use the nullable types for nullable columns?

ADO.NET 2.0 provider for SQL Server uses the nullable types introduced in C# 2.0 and this is very convenient.

We are interested in your suggestion. We will probably support this capability in the next versions of our provider.
