Programmatically mapping .NET types onto SQL Server types?

Is there any way to programmatically map a .NET type (such a开发者_如何学Pythons typeof(int)) into its corresponding SqlDbType (such as SqlDbType.Int)?

Have you looked into The Entity Framework? This will do all of the mappings for you.

Not that I know of, tehre is no exposure of whatever method is used internally. Your best bet it your own extension method / mapping repository that uses a switch statement or a hashtable.
