timestamp column from sql server, how to presist in a class?

[Smokey Grindle]

I need to store a timestamp record from a row in my class as a field that I
can use later to verify that the original record hasn't changed... how would
you store this? as a byte array? or some other data type? thanks!

Smokey,

Yes, as a byte array. For example:

Private UpdateStamp As Byte()

You can also convert it to an int
Select EmpID , Convert(int , RowVers) as RowVersInt from Emp

where RowVers is a timestamp.
