主流数据库字段类型转.Net类型的方法

　　最近在阅读一些开源的代码，发现其中有些方法总结的很全面，至少在我做同样的事情时候，需要抓破脑袋想活着google，现在看到了这个关于主流数据库字段类型转.Net类型的方法，故收藏之，也顺便分享给那些能看到这篇文章的同学。具体代码如下

　　　　  /// <summary>
        /// Default IDataType implementation (see IDataType for details)
        /// </summary>
        public class DataType : IDataType
        {
            public virtual string SqlType { get; set; }
            public virtual string ManagedType { get; set; }
            public virtual bool Nullable { get; set; }
            public virtual long? Length { get; set; }
            public virtual int? Precision { get; set; }
            public virtual int? Scale { get; set; }
            public virtual bool? Unsigned { get; set; }
            public string FullType { get; set; }
        }

        protected virtual Type MapDbType(string columnName, IDataType dataType)
        {
            if (dataType == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException("dataType");
            if (dataType.ManagedType != null)
                return Type.GetType(dataType.ManagedType, true);

            string dataTypeL = dataType.SqlType.ToLowerInvariant();

            if (columnName != null && columnName.ToLower().Contains("guid"))
            {
                bool correctTypeAndLen =
                    ((dataTypeL == "char" || dataTypeL == "varchar") && dataType.Length == )
                    || ((dataTypeL == "binary") && dataType.Length == );

                if (correctTypeAndLen)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("experimental support for guid--");
                    return typeof(Guid);
                }
            }
