something like a java.sql.Struct?

Can't find one of these in .Net, but I'm not sure if it is because I'm
not searching for the right name or it just isn't there. Any
pointers?

Well... this isn't a java to .net forum. Mind telling us what it does?

It is an interface that can be used to deliver structured data within
a database to a client application object as a collection of
attributes.

There is an alternate model that uses input and output streams to
transport the row data structure that the server knows about, to a
client class that also knows, through a provider that doesn't. Both
work in reverse also.

By now, I'm pretty sure these don't exist.

Also looking for something like a set and bag. I. e., an unordered
collection of similiar objects. Unordered in the sense that you can
not get an item at a particular position nor can you add a new object
at a position.
