ViewState and custom objects?

[Magiaus]

Does anyone know how to stick an object in ViewState? I mean an object you coded 100%. I get this Serial error and my object is marked as [System.ISerializable] and that should work..? I mean I don't really have time to make a type converter, unless I just make it use ToString.....

I might have the wrong idea here so tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

If you object has various properties then you should be able to load these into the viewstate - you must also provide the facility to get them afterwards.

Example for a property of type int called Top:

public int Top {
        get
        {
        	object obj = ViewState["Top"];

        	return (obj == null) ? 0 : (int) ViewState["Top"];
        }
        set
        {
		ViewState["Top"] = value;
        }
}
