OleDbSchemaGuid data_type conversion

[SpiderByte]

In retrieving the columns data type from a table by using 'OleDbSchemaGuid', the data_type returned is an integer. Could someone please explain the method of converting the integer data_type to its 'string name' eg 'Int16'.

Thankyou

Is this what you mean ?

Dim int As Integer = 321
Dim str As String = Convert.ToString(int)
MessageBox.Show(Str)

Using 'OleDbSchemaGuid' and retrieving the Data_type for the columns, returns an integer value representing the data type eg integer = 2; Double = 5; date/time = 7 etc. My problem is trying to convert the returned value ie the integer into a string = 'Integer' and not just a conversion of data type from integer = 1 to string = 1.
