Add an array to ViewState

[Gopal Krish]

Folks,

How to add an array to a ViewState in C#?

I'm doing the following and .net does not likes it.

ViewState["HeadingArray"] = HeadingArray;

where HeadingArray is a two dimensional array.

Any thoughts is really appreciated. thanks....

I also tried

ViewState["HeadingArray"] = (object) HeadingArray;

but no use..it still throws error.

This doesn't sound like something to put into the viewstate. Does it advise
you to implement a type converter? You could try going that route,
implement a type converter to string-ify your array...

It simply says invalid cast....doesn't even give a line number...

What's funny is this works perfectly with one dimension arrays. Only
with two dimensions and more it gives this error.

I have circumvented this problem by using two one dimension arrays for
now.

But still wondering if there is a technical reason behind it.

Thanks...
