The DB Data Types conversion methods make it easy to call methods that take DB data type (aaDBBool, aaDBDateTime, aaDBDouble, aaDBInt, or aaDBString) parameters. Each conversion method accepts a base type and converts the variable to the DB data type as follows:
|
Base Type |
DB Data Type |
|---|---|
|
DateTime |
aaDBDateTime |
|
Double |
aaDBDouble |
|
Int |
aaDBInt |
|
String |
aaDBString |
The conversion methods allow a script to directly call a method taking one or more DB data types without having to declare a variable for the type and assign the variable a value.
To use the conversion methods, you can do the following:
aaMes.Core.aaSession.LogOnEnt(mySession, myUser, myEntId, aaMes.aaDBString.FromString(myLaborCode),
aaMes.aaDbDouble.FromDouble(myLaborPercent), aaMES.aaDBString.FromString(myCurLaorDepartmentId),
aaMES.aaDBDateTime.FromDateTime(myLogOnTime));
The DB data types and the corresponding conversion method for each type is listed in the following table:
|
DB Data Type |
Conversion Method |
|---|---|
|
aaDBDateTime |
aaDBDateTime.FromDateTime(DateTime value) |
|
aaDBDouble |
aaDBDouble.FromDouble(Double value) |
|
aaDBInt |
aaDBInt.FromInt32(Int32 value) |
|
aaDBString |
aaDBString.FromString(String value) |
