Unsiged Big Int Mapped To Decimal
Posted: Tue 21 Jun 2016 20:03
Hi,
Why is a MYSQL Unsigned Big Int which should be unsigned 64 bit integer mapped to a .NET Decimal (128 Bits) instead of a .NET Unsigned Long (UINT64) which indicates it's the same datatype.
I have to use a type converter to go from MySQL 64Bit Unsigned integer to a .NET 64 Bit Unsigned Integer.
It makes no sense to me
Can you explain ?
