I have an arraylist with user define data type...

I am using WCF for communication and I know I have to convert arraylist to memorystream to send data...
I hve tried this method

Collapse | Copy Code

C#

ArrayList history = ie.getHistory();
BinaryFormatter f = new BinaryFormatter();
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
f.Serialize(ms, history);

Solution 1

That's because STATURL is not marked serializable, as the exception says. You have to add the SerializableAttribute to your type. E.g.

C#

[Serializable]
public class MyClass
{
}

For more information on serialization in .NET see
