I need to be able to store registry type data in the database instead of the registry (Form location/size, user preferences, etc...) so I need to be able to store all types of data in one field in a table. I assume I use variant datatype for this in the toolkit. (Let me know if I should be using something else).

When I map my business object, the field I created as variant has been changed to System.xml.XmlReader.  Is this correct?

Is this the best way to handle storing this type of data.

Thanks
