Value Property (MySqlText)

In This Topic

Gets the string that is stored in the specified MySqlText object.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Shadows ReadOnly Property Value As String

public new string Value {get;}

Property Value

The string stored in MySqlText object

Remarks

Use Value property to get string that is stored in a MySqlText instance. This is a read-only property, thus you can not use it to assign strings to the object. To obtain a MySqlText with another string you have to either create a new instance (recommended) or use stream methods (i.e. Read, MySqlBlob.Write).

If you wish to treat MySqlText as a stream, you have to perform all encoding/decoding operations yourself. Read more about how to set up encoding in topic MySqlText.

Example

In this sample a fragment of code is shown that populates MySqlText with data from 'BlockContent' field. The data is rendered then to console.

csharp

while (myReader.Read())
{
  MySqlText myTextSql = myReader.GetMySqlText(myReader.GetOrdinal("BlockContent"));
  if(!myTextSql.IsNull)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(myTextSql.Value);
  }
}

Visual Basic

While myReader.Read()
  Dim myTextSql As MySqlText = myReader.GetMySqlText(myReader.GetOrdinal("BlockContent"))
  If Not myTextSql.IsNull Then
    Console.WriteLine(myTextSql.Value)
  End If
End While
