How to make linq Object Serializable... 'System.Data.EnumerableRowCollection is not marked as Serizable'

Question

Dear All,

Is it possible to make the linq object as serializable. I need to pass the serialized Data as parameter to the Remoting Method.

My LinQ Query is as follows

 Dim LinqQuery = From R In dsEdit.Tables(0) _

                    Where R.Field(Of Integer)("ID") < 400 _

                    Select R

ZipObject(LinqQuery)

The Definition of ZipObject is as follows.

 

 

  Public Function ZipObject(ByVal obj As Object) As Byte()

        Dim ms As New MemoryStream()

        Dim bf As New BinaryFormatter()

        Dim ds As DeflateStream = Nothing

        Try

            ds = New DeflateStream(ms, CompressionMode.Compress)

            bf.Serialize(ds, obj)

            ds.Flush()

            ds.Close()

            Return ms.ToArray()

        Catch ex As Exception

            ds.Flush()

            ds.Close()

            Throw New Exception("zipObject : " & ex.Message)

        Finally

            bf = Nothing

            ms.Flush()

            ms.Close()

        End Try

    End Function

While Serializing the LInQ Object I am getting the following Error..

zipObject : Type 'System.Data.EnumerableRowCollection`1[[System.Data.DataRow, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]' in Assembly 'System.Data.DataSetExtensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' is not marked as serializable.

Can AnyOne Guess What Could be the Reason.

Is It possible to Serialize the linq.
Any Suggestions...

Thanks
