I have following code to access Lotus Form's Fields(COM Interop), But i am unable to get its dataType.(e.g. : Text , Number , DataTime)

        NotesSession notesSessionClass = new NotesSession();
        notesSessionClass.Initialize(pPassword);
        NotesDatabase pNotesDatabase= notesSessionClass.GetDatabase("", pDatabaseName, false);
        object objectForms = pNotesDatabase.Forms;
        Array formArray = (System.Array)objectForms;

        for (int cnt = 0; cnt < formArray.Length; cnt++)
        {
            NotesForm localForm = (NotesForm)formArray.GetValue(cnt);

            Array fieldsArray = (System.Array)localForm.Fields;
            for (int fieldCnt = 0; fieldCnt < fieldsArray.Length; fieldCnt++)
            {
                string field = (string)fieldsArray.GetValue(fieldCnt);
                FIELD_TYPE fieldType = localForm.GetFieldType(field);
                string strFieldType = fieldType.ToString();
             }
         }

GetFieldType returns an integer. The possible values are explaned in the documentation of NotesItem.Type.
