I was wondering, how do you get an int type field from a data reader.
For example, I can get a string type field (or int type) from a data reader (e.g. drMyTable) as a string:
string MyField = drMyTable["fld_name"].ToString();
But if the field "fld_name" is INT, do I have to still get it as a string and then convert to INT? Is there a way to do it right from the dr?
TIA.
