Copying row fields to a structure in memory

[Antonio Salazar]

I have a task periodically generating a handful of records which may or may not be already in a versioned table. To minimize versioning logs, I want to generate the records in-memory and only update the changed ones.

Is there a simple way to copy a row structure to a dictionary or list, for example?

Thank you, this is what I need.

Funny thing is, I had already read that months ago and forgot it. The book has an impressive amount of information!
