Using decimal with specific precision as output parameters with Dapper

Question

I am evaluating Dapper as a replacement for custom and cumbersome code and so far all was very good and promising. But this morning I have stumbled on a problem with Dynamic

Answer 1

Well, seems that there is no way to resolve this problem (at least none has found a tentative answer) so I put this workaround that I have implemented to continue with the rest of the work.

var args = new DynamicParameters(new { custID = customerID});
args.Add("@accnt", dbType: DbType.Single, direction: ParameterDirection.Output);
args.Add("@avail", dbType: DbType.Single, direction: ParameterDirection.Output);

var results = connection.QueryMultiple("Customer_CalcBalance", args, commandType:CommandType.StoredProcedure);
decimal account = args.Get("@accnt");
decimal availab = args.Get("@avail");

I have passed the output parameters as Single instead of the expected type Decimal.
In this way, I suppose the SqlParameter.Scale property is set to something different than zero and I could get the decimals digits when I try to read the output parameters.
If someone has a better solution let me know.
