ParameterValueDbType Property

Gets or sets the DbType value to use on the created DbParameter. By default, it's left to the DbParameter what type to use based on the Value specified. For strings and DateTime values this might be problematic as often multiple DbType values can be chosen for a given .NET type.

public Nullable<DbType> DbType { get; set; }
