Telerik Grid Setting working with a web-site project but not with a web-application

[Ahmed]

I have a web-site project that I needed to convert to web-application. After I resolved all the compilation errors I hit a runtime exception in a piece of code I got from Telerik's Website.
In the part where I de-serialize the grid settings data I get an exception

System.ArgumentExceptionHResult=0x80070057Message=The serialized data is invalid.Source=BMS.WebAppInner Exception 1:SerializationException: Unable to find assembly 'App_Code.5gd62bdt, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

 

public static GridSettingsCollection LoadFromSerializedData(string data)

{

  LosFormatter formatter = new LosFormatter();

  // the line that throws the exception: formatter.Deserialize(data)

  return (GridSettingsCollection)formatter.Deserialize(data);

}

This works no problem when it was a Web-Site project. I am guessing assemblies that start with an App_Code.* usually means that it is compiling at runtime. I tried clearing all the ASP temp folders.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Ahmed,

As stated at the top note in the mentioned article, I am afraid this approach is obsoleted and its implementation and maintenance is no longer supported. You can use RadPersistenceFramework instead:
