Hey guys, I need your help. In Java there is a way to get timestamp from a result set object and that is by using the getTimeStamp(). since I am converting to c#, the closest thing to a result set in c# is a data set, or data table. However, neither one of these posses a function similar to the getTimeStamp(). So is there a way I can do that or is there a totally different object I should use?. Thanks for your help

Solution 1

If this is precise time you need you can use this:
DateTime ticks[^]

If this is some sort of checksum for a given object perhaps you're after
GetHashCode[^]

Solution 2

As far as the docs say all getTimeStamp does is return the value of the specified column AS a sql.TimeStamp object. The C# equivilent would just cast the value of of the column to the desired type.

A TimeStamp in SQL Server is usually an array of bytes, so.... I don't know what your database uses so it's impossible to tell you exactly what to use.
