Hi,

I have a situation where I have created an object that contains
fields,properties and functions. After creating the object I attempted to
assign it to a session variable so i could retrieve the information it
contained on another page.  This was significant because I am initially
loading the data from the database, then storing relevent information in the
object, I am allowing users to change the data then preview the
modifications on a secondary page...BEFORE they save the changes.  Then if
they decide to save the changes they will go ahead and save them to a
database.

Everything seemed to be working fine until I attempted to store the object
in a session variable, when I received this error:
The error description is as follows : System.Web.HttpException: Unable to
serialize the session state. Please note that non-serializable objects or
MarshalByRef objects are not permitted when session state mode is
'StateServer' or 'SQLServer'. --->
System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: The type
MyTimePlus.SBOContact in Assembly MyTimePlus, Version=1.0.2686.13333,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null is not marked as serializable.

Is there anyway for me to store this object in a session variable?  Or do I
have to split the class into two seperate classes, one that stores the
properties and the other that manages the data management?  In that case do
I use inheritance, or just let them remain two independent objects that
communicate?  ...or what is the recommended way to handle this scenerio?

ASP .Net 1.1 / Session: State Server

Thanks!

Ron
