Serialization

[Guest]

I want to serialize an object in VB.Net and store the data in SQL Server
2000, and be able to retrieve and deserialize it later. Can anyone explain
how I can do that? Specifically, how do I insert a stream into a database
field? What data type should the field be? Image? This seems like it
should be possible, but I'm having trouble finding info on how to do it. Any
help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can serialize to string or a byte array and then store that to SQL
Server. THat's probably the easiest to get the data into the fields...
