Hi Viv,

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I wondered if you got this all figured out yet.

I don't use DataReaders, so without actually playing with this a bit myself, I didn't want to take a stab at the answer (I hate being wrong <g>). I've been way too busy to do any playing though.

I can query the DB for the UDT type and set the relevant properties when I create the DataColumn but I'm not sure whether this will let me populate the row without casting using something like: DataRow["ColumnName"] = dr["Data"]
