[Solved] GridView 'is not marked as serializable' problem.

[Missing User]

Hello,
I'm using RadControls for WPF Q1 2010 SP2.
I'm trying to save data from the Gridview with BinaryFormatter. My custom class is marked as serializable and saving List<MyClass> is OK, but when I'm trying to save MyGridView.Items the following error occures:

Type 'Telerik.Windows.Data.WeakEvent+WeakListener`1[[System.ComponentModel.
PropertyChangedEventArgs, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]'
in Assembly 'Telerik.Windows.Data, Version=2010.1.603.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5803cfa389c90ce7'
is not marked as serializable.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, so I need help, please.

Hi Jokerwolf,

 Why not try to get new list from the grid Items and save this list instead? Here is an example:

var list = RadGridView1.Items.OfType<MyClass>().ToList();

All the best,

No change at all :0) Well, maybe there is another way to save and load data from the GridView?

Hi Jokerwolf,

Before you invoke the BinaryFormatter please try to clear the ItemsSource of the grid and it should work.

this.myGridView.ItemsSource = null;
// invoke formatter

All the best,

That doesn't work, too.
Maybe it is important: We're using WCF service to get the data for gridview.

The problem is solved now. We're using XmlSerializer to save and load data.
