我不会太纠结于哪种方法更好,因为这两种方法都有效,而且我之前在代码中都使用过。
例如,这是我从一个旧项目中挖掘出来的一个实用函数:
/// <summary>
/// Helper class for SqlDataReader, which allows for the calling code to retrieve a value in a generic fashion.
/// </summary>
public static class SqlReaderHelper
{
private static bool IsNullableType(Type theValueType)
{
return (theValueType.IsGenericType && theValueType.GetGenericTypeDefinition().Equals(typeof(Nullable<>)));
}
/// <summary>
/// Returns the value, of type T, from the SqlDataReader, accounting for both generic and non-generic types.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">T, type applied</typeparam>
/// <param name="theReader">The SqlDataReader object that queried the database</param>
/// <param name="theColumnName">The column of data to retrieve a value from</param>
/// <returns>T, type applied; default value of type if database value is null</returns>
public static T GetValue<T>(this SqlDataReader theReader, string theColumnName)
{
// Read the value out of the reader by string (column name); returns object
object theValue = theReader[theColumnName];
// Cast to the generic type applied to this method (i.e. int?)
Type theValueType = typeof(T);
// Check for null value from the database
if (DBNull.Value != theValue)
{
// We have a null, do we have a nullable type for T?
if (!IsNullableType(theValueType))
{
// No, this is not a nullable type so just change the value's type from object to T
return (T)Convert.ChangeType(theValue, theValueType);
}
else
{
// Yes, this is a nullable type so change the value's type from object to the underlying type of T
NullableConverter theNullableConverter = new NullableConverter(theValueType);
return (T)Convert.ChangeType(theValue, theNullableConverter.UnderlyingType);
}
}
// The value was null in the database, so return the default value for T; this will vary based on what T is (i.e. int has a default of 0)
return default(T);
}
}
用法:
yourSqlReaderObject.GetValue<int?>("SOME_ID_COLUMN");
yourSqlReaderObject.GetValue<string>("SOME_VALUE_COLUMN");
