When I try to put a DataRow object into ViewState, I get the following error:

The type 'System.Data.DataRow' must be marked as Serializable or have a
TypeConverter other than ReferenceConverter to be put in viewstate.

Right now I have to create a new DataTable object with excepted structure
and call the ImportRow method and save the DataTable object to the ViewState.

Is there a better way?

Hi Steve,

Do you have any special reason to save an object in
ViewState? It's better to save objects in SessionState.

My lead does not like using SessionState? He feels it is a resource hog. I
have grown accustomed to coding with ViewState and query strings.
