Hey Tim,

We tried that initially and wondered for about a second why you were able to get that to work while we couldn't; then we checked our version. Turns out we were using 3.5.

On upgrading to 3.6 (vs 2008 for the time being still, unfortunately), we were golden and now we're back in business.

Thanks for your help.
Gerard

The problem occurs when attempting to store a mmBindingList collection or entity type class inherited from OakLeaf.MM.Main.Business.mmAbstractBusinessObject. It seems that because we are not using inProc SessionState we cannot use the classes, as they apparently are not serializable. We have a server farm and session must be shared.

>Yes, they can be serialized. I am not sure what version you are using, but I submitted a fix to OakLeaf that has been added in the latest version. The Base entity classes had the Serializable attribute on the entites but I think the ABusinessEntity did not from the project template. If you add the attribute, all your entites will be serializable. I do serialize them in some apps of mine.
