Hi all,

Is there any difference by declaring a variable to be Integer, Int32 or
System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlInt32 ?

Example
Dim intNumberOfTries As Integer
or
Dim intNumberOfTries As Int32
or
Dim System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlInt32

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
Meng Soon Chua

Integer is the exact same type as System.Int32.

The System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlInt32 type also can handle null values, so
that is pretty much like Nullable(Of Integer).

Me too. I never really looked at the System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlInt32 data
type before. I don't really know if I ever will have any more use of
this knowledge, though... :)
