Storing Byte Array In Sql Server

Hello, I am using .net 1.1 and sql server 2000.

I want to store a byte array, but it seems that only a string is stored there.

Code:

SHA512 sha = new SHA512Managed();

byte[] ReturnedPasswordByte = sha.ComputeHash(ToCryptByte);




MyGenericCommand.Parameters.Add("@Password", ReturnedPasswordByte);

MyConnection.Open();
MyGenericCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
MyConnection.Close();


If I select the record later, all I get is "System.Byte[]" (as string)
