Remarks

No conversions are performed; therefore, the data retrieved must already be a Decimal object.

The maximum size of the SQL Server CE decimal is greater than the maximum size of Decimal. For example, an overflow can occur when SqlCeDataReader is reading values that are either greater than Decimal.MaxValue or lesser than Decimal.MinValue.

Call IsDBNull to check for null values before calling this method.
