[Solved] Persisting a Class You Didn't Create

[Jeff]

I must be missing something basic: I'm trying to persist a System.Drawing.Color object as a field in a persistent class. The OpenAccess compiler tells me this type is not supported and that I must declare it Transient.

    [Telerik.OpenAccess.Persistent]
    public class ProductVersion
    {
        private string m_strModelNumber;
        private System.Drawing.Color m_ColorRgb;
    }

Is there a way to use a class that isn't marked Persistent (like the Color class) as a field?

Hello Jeff,

It is not possible to have fields of complex .NET types because they do not have any proper database representation. You can only have references to other classes that are persistent themselves, hence have a database table that represent them.
