I have an array of objects that I need to put into the session for postbacks to retain the values. I just got through switching to SQL Session State, and am unable to serialize the session state when added this array of objects to it.

What's the preferred way to do this? I have tried converting it to an ArrayList with no luck. Any suggestions?

hi,
simply use Session["objectname"]=objvalue;

What type of objects are you trying to put into session? Most objects can be serialized for session state storage. I know that the HashTable can not be however.

I tracked down the major problem here.

I am using SQLServer Session State. The classes are Serializable, BUT... the SoapHeaders are being returned in the objects from the web services. So when I add them to the Session, wham! I get hit with an error saying the SoapHeaders in the objects are not marked serializable.

Any suggestions?

Right now, I'm using the Cache, but it isn't as persistant as the Session.

I would disagree with you there. The session is only good for the length of the user's visit (plus the expiration timespan). You can cache a value for considerably longer.

I'm not sure I get your problem though. You are getting data from a web service and then putting the data in session? Why would you end up with soap headers after you get the object back from a web service call? Obviously, it's using soap to get the data from the web service, but after it's handed back by the service proxy it should be void of soap information. Are you using the standard service proxy or doing something custom?
