将ODBC十进制数转换为C＃int的最干净方法是什么？

Question

I working on some code that queries an DB2 database via an ODBC connection. The value represents an employee number, but it is stored in the DB as a decimal. There are several columns like this, so I am looking for the cleanest and safest way to convert the values to ints.

I can try dr.GetInt32(colIndex) , but I try to avoid using column ordinals to minimized confusion. I didn't see a method on dr["MyCol"].GetOrdinal() .

I can do it in two steps, but I don't want this method to get really long with conversion. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

(int)dr.GetDecimal(dr.GetOrdinal("MyCol"))
