ArrayList typecasting from binary SQL data

[Jim]

Is there any way that you can insert an ArrayList into a SQL Server database
as a binary object then retrieve that object and use it as and ArrayList. If
so, how would you do this?

[Bruce Barker]

assuming the objects in the arraylist are serialiable, use the
BinaryForatter and a memory stream to convert the arraylist to a memory
stream, and pass the stream (or byte array) to the database.
