I have tried two different versions, but both blow up on the third line and I am unable at the moment to find why. The objects passed in appear to be valid and the entity object has the [serializable] attribute on it.

What is LocationEntity ? Simply marking it as serializable doesn't neccessarily make it so .....
And what's the exact exception ?
