Hi Team,
I am currently working on test automation and now i am designing a script in VB to get the most recently inserted record from a table.
When i asked my friends they told that the recently inserted record will be the last record of the table.But when i was implementing this script i found that the records which inserted in to the table using a vb.net went in to the middle of the table.When i checked why this happened i found that that the developer has given identity based on two columns.
after explaining the whole scenario would someone help me to retrieve the most recently inserted record using VB.

Put a new column in the table as InsertedDateTime & put the default value as getdate().You can get the latest inserted value w.r.t that column.
