When you say "database records" are you referring to rows in a DataTable as
retrieved using a SQL query? Typically, such rows consist of multiple fields
with disparate data types. Arrays, by default, store multiple instances of a
single data type. Are you trying to create an array of DataRow objects?
If you could be a bit more specific about what you intend to store in your
array, I'm sure better answers will appear.
