Using this code:

MemoryStream myStream = new MemoryStream();

boAllUsers1.NewRow();

boAllUsers1.SerializeToStream(myStream);

myStream.Position = 0;

BOLibrary.boAllUsers allUsers = (BOLibrary.boAllUsers)BusinessLayer.DeserializeBusinessObject(myStream);



1) {"Type 'BOLibrary.boAllUsers' in Assembly 'BOLibrary, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is not marked as serializable."}



Is this something that we are supposed to have to address manually for each BO or should the code generator mark them all as [Serializable]?



2) The SerializeToStream method should set the Position to 0 before returning. Otherwise you get an "End of Stream reached unexpectedly" exception on the DeserializeBusinessObject call.



3) After addressing 1 and 2 the following exception is thrown:

{"The constructor to deserialize an object of type 'BOLibrary.boAllUsers' was not found."}

Thank you. Everything seems to be working as you described.



I have a residual problem with this little sample that I am working on:



The table schema looks like this:

new DataColumn("ID", typeof(System.String)),





In my code:

boAllUsers1.NewRow();

boAllUsers1.ID = "FRED";



throws the following exception:

{"Input string was not in a correct format.Couldn't store in ID Column. Expected type is Int32."}



and if you use the visualizer to look at the underlying DataTable, it shows a -1 in the ID column.



All of the generated code seems to know that this column is a string column but the datatable thinks it's an int.



This has me stumped.
