Can I store an Object in ViewState?

[tgoodmannz]

Sorry another newbie post here...

Is it possible to store an Object against a page between form Posts?

ViewState will only take a string .. are there any other .. ways of storing the object or do I need a typeconverter of some sort?

Absolutely!

All you have to do is to cast the object back when you need it:

ViewState["yourObject"] = yourObject;

...to read
YourObjectType yourObject = (YourObjectType)ViewState["yourObject"];

Thanks Serge!

Just for the record, the typecasting in VBScript is:

        myObject = DirectCast(viewstate("myObject"), myObjectType)

Unfortunately the object I'm handling is not Serializable - I think that is my next job ...

Cheers,
