Telerik Silverlight Datatable

[George Fryberger]

I need to be able to serialize the class that can be found on this Telerik blog.

Download Class

I am trying to do this from within a Silverlight project to cache the data to the IsolatedStorageFile using the XMLSerializer.  The problem that I am having is that I am getting an error message stating

To be XML serializable, types which inherit from IEnumerable must have an implementation of Add(System.Object) at all levels of their inheritance hierarchy. Telerik.Data.DataTable does not implement Add(System.Object).

I have been trying to modify the class to include an "Add" method but I have been unable to get it to work and I am uncertain as to what I am doing wrong.

I know that this is only loosely related to Telerik and their products, but I would greatly appreciate any assistance that anyone can provide.

Hi,

 You may need to change a bit our DataTable to be IList instead IEnumerable. You can find our latest code here.

"Collection is read-only."
Could you help me plese? Below you can see my snipped code.

DataTable dt = null ;
  

 

 

public ucTab01() 

{ 

 

InitializeComponent(); 

 

GetDT();
}

 

 

 

 

 

void 

 

 

GetDT()  

{

 

 

dt = new DataTable(); 

dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "Col1", DataType = typeof(string) });
DataRow row = dt.NewRow(); 

 

 

row["Col1"] = "test";

 

 

dt.Rows.Add(row);

 

 

this.RadGridView01.ItemsSource = dt.ToList();

 

}

dt.Columns.Add(

 

new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "Col2", DataType = typeof(decimal

) }); //This is my ERROR!

 

}

Hello,

Indeed, once the DataTable is set as the ItemsSource for the grid, its Columns collection gets read-only. What you may try to do is to create a new one with the same data plus the additional column that you want and set this new DataTable as data source for the RadGridView.
