I found the definition in the msdn but it didn't explain much, while others website has confused me. MSDN said it returns the value of the specified column in the current row datareader is reading about, while other website said it returns the value of the rows.

And what does it actually returns? Type int32? Can it be int16 as well? Return the value does it mean return the info on the specified column of the specified rows? Or the number of order of the row/column??
Thanx

Hello,

There are other functions to get the value by type of Int32 and such. Those functions are:

GetInt16
GetInt32
GetInt64
GetBoolean
GetChar

etc. GetValue returns the value as object, so if you have option strict on, you will need to ctype the value to the appropriate type.

Thanx a lot, this is much more clearer
