TypeCode Enumeration

Members

	Member name	Description
	Empty	A null reference.
	Object	A general type representing any reference or value type not explicitly represented by another TypeCode.
	DBNull	A database null (column) value.
	Boolean	A simple type representing Boolean values of true or false.
	Char	An integral type representing unsigned 16-bit integers with values between 0 and 65535. The set of possible values for the Char type corresponds to the Unicode character set.
	SByte	An integral type representing signed 8-bit integers with values between -128 and 127.
	Byte	An integral type representing unsigned 8-bit integers with values between 0 and 255.
	Int16	An integral type representing signed 16-bit integers with values between -32768 and 32767.
	UInt16	An integral type representing unsigned 16-bit integers with values between 0 and 65535.
	Int32	An integral type representing signed 32-bit integers with values between -2147483648 and 2147483647.
	UInt32	An integral type representing unsigned 32-bit integers with values between 0 and 4294967295.
	Int64	An integral type representing signed 64-bit integers with values between -9223372036854775808 and 9223372036854775807.
	UInt64	An integral type representing unsigned 64-bit integers with values between 0 and 18446744073709551615.
	Single	A floating point type representing values ranging from approximately 1.5 x 10 -45 to 3.4 x 10 38 with a precision of 7 digits.
	Double	A floating point type representing values ranging from approximately 5.0 x 10 -324 to 1.7 x 10 308 with a precision of 15-16 digits.
	Decimal	A simple type representing values ranging from 1.0 x 10 -28 to approximately 7.9 x 10 28 with 28-29 significant digits.
	DateTime	A type representing a date and time value.
	String	A sealed class type representing Unicode character strings.
