Yet another issue with DataColumn inhertiance

[Joe]

Since DataColumn is not sealed I would like to inherit from it and create my
own. Unfortunately it seems that when serializing a DataTable with these
columns, only DataColumn (the base) is serialized and my derived column is
not.

Is there anyway I can use and serialize a derived DataColumn?

Did you try marking your column with the Serializable attribute? It's worth a
try.
Good luck with your project,

Yes, it has to attribute.

Hi Joe,

The good news is that it is probably possible while the bad news is that it
will be not easy at all.
DataTable uses custom serialization via ISerializable and thus you have to
override GetObjectData and create a proper constructor or use new custom
serialization via attributes (.net 2.0).

Hi Miha,

Could you possibly give me an example of using the custom serialization
attributes?

Hi Joe,

Here is an example of how to implement the ISerializable interface.

And here is an example of how to use the SerializableAttribute.

HTH.
