OracleUdt Class

GetValue

GetValue methods get the attributes or elements from the specified Oracle UDT.

Overload List:

• GetValue(OracleConnection, IntPtr, string)

  This method gets the attributes or elements from the specified Oracle UDT, using the specified attribute name.

• GetValue(OracleConnection, IntPtr, int)

  This method gets the attribute or elements from the specified Oracle UDT, using the specified index.

• GetValue(OracleConnection, IntPtr, string, out object)

  This method returns either the elements of the specified collection attribute of the specified Oracle Object or the elements of the specified Oracle Collection.

• GetValue(OracleConnection, IntPtr, int, out object)

  This method returns either the elements of the specified collection attribute of the specified Oracle Object or the elements of the specified Oracle Collection.

GetValue(OracleConnection, IntPtr, string)

This method gets the attributes or elements from the specified Oracle UDT, using the specified attribute name.

Declaration

public static object GetValue(OracleConnection con, IntPtr pUdt, string attrName);

Parameters

• con

  An OracleConnection instance.

• pUdt

  A pointer to an Oracle UDT.

• attrName

  The case-sensitive name of the attribute to be retrieved. Null is specified for retrieving collection elements from a Custom Type that represents an Oracle Collection.

Return Value

An object representing the returned attribute or collection elements.

Exceptions

ArgumentException - The specified name is not a valid attribute name.

Remarks

The IOracleCustomType.ToCustomObject method invokes OracleUdt.GetValue method passing it the con and pUdt parameters. The OracleUdt.GetValue method returns these types of object:

• Oracle Object Type

  For a Custom Type that represents an Oracle Object Type, the type returned for a specified attribute name is the type of the member in the custom class or struct that is mapped to the attribute using the OracleObjectMappingAttribute object.

• Oracle Collection Type

  For a Custom Type that represents an Oracle Collection Type, the type returned is the type of the member in the custom class or struct to which the OracleArrayMappingAttribute object is applied.

In the case of NULL attribute values, the appropriate null representation of the type is returned. For example, for attributes that are represented as Custom Types and Provider Specific Types, the static Null property of the type is returned. For attributes that are represented as Nullable types, for example, System.String and System.Array Types, null is returned, and for all other remaining built-in types such as Int32 and DateTime DBNull.Value is returned.

GetValue(OracleConnection, IntPtr, int)

This method gets the attribute or elements from the specified Oracle UDT, using the specified index.

Declaration

// C#
public static object GetValue(OracleConnection con, IntPtr pUdt, int attrIndex,);

Parameters

• con

  An OracleConnection instance.

• pUdt

  A pointer to an Oracle UDT.

• attrIndex

  The zero-based index of the attribute to be retrieved. For retrieving collection elements from a Custom Type that represents an Oracle Collection, zero must be specified.

Return Value

An object representing the returned attribute or collection elements.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException - The specified index is not a valid attribute index.

Remarks

The IOracleCustomType.ToCustomObject method invokes OracleUdt.GetValue method passing it the con and pUdt parameters. The OracleUdt.GetValue method returns these types of object:

• Oracle Object Type

  For a Custom Type that represents an Oracle Object Type, the type returned for a specified attribute index is the type of the member in the custom class or struct that is mapped to the attribute using the OracleObjectMappingAttribute object.

• Oracle Collection Type

  For a Custom Type that represents an Oracle Collection Type, the type returned is the type of the member in the custom class or struct to which the OracleArrayMappingAttribute object is applied.

In the case of NULL attribute values, the appropriate null representation of the type is returned. For example, for attributes that are represented as Custom Types and Provider Specific Types, the static Null property of the type is returned. For attributes that are represented as Nullable types, for example, System.String and System.Array Types, null is returned, and for all other remaining built-in types such as Int32 and DateTime DBNull.Value is returned.
