hi all,

I am trying to store dataview in viewstate but it through an error

Type 'System.Data.DataView' in Assembly 'System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' is not marked as serializable.

could anyone help me out plz.

Thanks in Advance.

The error message explains it all. The DataView class is not serializable. In order to store a value in viewstate, it must be serializable. The underlying datatable of the dataview can be serialized however. Then you would just need to re-apply any filter or sorting to the default dataview.

I'm concerned that you are storing datatable type data in viewstate. Explain what you are doing, there might be a better way.
