Is it possible to Serialize a DateTimeCollection?

[Debbie Wright]

I'm storing selected dates as a DatetimeCollection in a custom object.
I want to be able to store that object in viewstate, but I've been gettting the Serialization error

"Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.Collections.DateTimeCollection is not marked as serializable"

i've already marked the class itself as Serializable, is there any way to serialize this?
or should I store the selected dates as an array or some other format?

Thank you
Deb

Hi Debbie,

Unfortunately serializing the RadCalendar's DateTimeCollection is not supported . As the collection does have a reference to the Calendar's instance which owns it, serializing it will require actual calendar control to be serializable too. You will probably agree that this is not a good practice and can lead to may problems.

I hope this information is helpful.

Kind regards,

Thank you for the information.
I was using a separate collection, that did not have a calendar reference, so the calendar not being serializable would not have been a problem.
I've changed the code to use an array instead.
Thanks
