Remarks

This method works with the following Integration Services data types:

The GetTime method retrieves a TimeSpan value for columns of data types, DT_DBTIME and DT_DBTIME2.

If the value of the column is null, the PipelineBuffer throws a ColumnIsNullException. You can check for a null value by calling the IsNull method.
