Question about RowVersion Data Type

From my SQL statement,
declare @tEmployee table
(
TrnxID int primary key identity(1,1),
Nme varchar(100),
RowID rowversion
)
insert into @tEmployee(Nme) values('Mike Tyson')
insert into @tEmployee(Nme) values('Hollyfield')

SQL 1 - select * from @tEmployee
the result as follow,
1 Mike Tyson 0x00000000000007FA
2 Hollyfield 0x00000000000007FB

SQL 2 - select TrnxID,Nme,cast(RowID as BigInt) from @tEmployee
the result as follow,
1 Mike Tyson 2042
2 Hollyfield 2043

I convert RowVersion to BigInt because i want to make it front-end (ASP.NET) can read it easily.
Did a SQL 1 and SQL 2 same?

You can store the 0x00000000000007FA bit from the first query in a string type variable, if you must store it. Do you want to use this to double-check that the row has not been updated since you read the data?
