Anybody got a C# function that maps the SQL datatype of a column to its CLR equivalent?

Question

I\'m sitting down to write a massive switch() statement to turn SQL datatypes into CLR datatypes in order to generate classes from MSSQL stored procedures. I\'m using this c

Here's a revision that accepts nullable.

    public static Type GetClrType(SqlDbType sqlType, bool isNullable)
    {
        switch (sqlType)
        {
            case SqlDbType.BigInt:
                return isNullable ? typeof(long?) : typeof(long);

            case SqlDbType.Binary:
            case SqlDbType.Image:
            case SqlDbType.Timestamp:
            case SqlDbType.VarBinary:
                return typeof(byte[]);

            case SqlDbType.Bit:
                return isNullable ? typeof(bool?) : typeof(bool);

            case SqlDbType.Char:
            case SqlDbType.NChar:
            case SqlDbType.NText:
            case SqlDbType.NVarChar:
            case SqlDbType.Text:
            case SqlDbType.VarChar:
            case SqlDbType.Xml:
                return typeof(string);

            case SqlDbType.DateTime:
            case SqlDbType.SmallDateTime:
            case SqlDbType.Date:
            case SqlDbType.Time:
            case SqlDbType.DateTime2:
                return isNullable ? typeof(DateTime?) : typeof(DateTime);

            case SqlDbType.Decimal:
            case SqlDbType.Money:
            case SqlDbType.SmallMoney:
                return isNullable ? typeof(decimal?) : typeof(decimal);

            case SqlDbType.Float:
                return isNullable ? typeof(double?) : typeof(double);

            case SqlDbType.Int:
                return isNullable ? typeof(int?) : typeof(int);

            case SqlDbType.Real:
                return isNullable ? typeof(float?) : typeof(float);

            case SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier:
                return isNullable ? typeof(Guid?) : typeof(Guid);

            case SqlDbType.SmallInt:
                return isNullable ? typeof(short?) : typeof(short);

            case SqlDbType.TinyInt:
                return isNullable ? typeof(byte?) : typeof(byte);

            case SqlDbType.Variant:
            case SqlDbType.Udt:
                return typeof(object);

            case SqlDbType.Structured:
                return typeof(DataTable);

            case SqlDbType.DateTimeOffset:
                return isNullable ? typeof(DateTimeOffset?) : typeof(DateTimeOffset);

            default:
                throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("sqlType");
        }
    }
