)

VB.NET

    dataMember As String
) As Type

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
name	String	A String value that specifies the name of the data source field.

Remarks

For example, the DashboardSqlDataSource class instance (dataSource) contains the SalesPerson query from the corresponding view contained in the standard Northwind database. In this case, the GetFieldSourceType method returns DateTime for the OrderDate field from the SalesPerson view.

C#

((IDashboardDataSource)dataSource).GetFieldSourceType("OrderDate", "SalesPerson");

VB.NET

CType(dataSource, IDashboardDataSource).GetFieldSourceType("OrderDate", "SalesPerson")

Note that dataSource is the DashboardSqlDataSource class instance.
