public DBTableField CreateNewField(
	DBDriverBase driverToUse,
	string fieldName,
	Type netType,
	int length,
	int precision,
	int scale,
	bool isNullable,
	bool isPk,
	int preferredDbType,
	out LogNode resultNode
)

Parameters

driverToUse
Type: SD.LLBLGen.Pro.DBDriverCore.DBDriverBase
The driver to use.
fieldName
Type: System.String
Name of the field.
netType
Type: System.Type
the .NET type to use for choosing the db type, if preferred db type isn't specified.
length
Type: System.Int32
The length.
precision
Type: System.Int32
The precision.
scale
Type: System.Int32
The scale.
isNullable
Type: System.Boolean
True if the field is nullable
isPk
Type: System.Boolean
true if the field is part of the PK
preferredDbType
Type: System.Int32
Preferred db type according to the used type shortcut. If -1, the default database type is used, using the usual filtering. If value of 0 or higher, the dbtype is used, overruling all other types.
resultNode
Type: SD.LLBLGen.Pro.Core.GeneralDataStructures.LogNode
The result node. Is null if everything went OK, not null if error was found. Mainly used to get detailed error messaging to the user why an automap failed.

Return Value

Type: DBTableField
The created new field or null if no field could be created.
Remarks
If there's no compatible type definition found, it will not create any field. Used for auto-generating table fields from mappings. Do not use this routine from a driver to store meta-data, use the DBTableField ctor for that, as this routine will set the CreatedByDesigner flag on the created field.
