BUG: You receive an error message when you serialize a DBConcurrencyException object in ADO.NET 1.0

This article was previously published under Q306726
This article refers to the following Microsoft .NET Framework Class Library namespace:
  • System.IO

On This Page

SYMPTOMS

When you serialize a DBConcurrencyException object, the value of the Row property in the serialized version of the object is set to a null value and an exception occurs:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in app_name.exe

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

CAUSE

Serialization support is not provided for DataRows in this version of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Create a new Microsoft Visual C# .NET Console application.
  2. Paste the following code:
    using System;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Reflection;
    using System.Runtime.Serialization;
    using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Data.SqlClient;
    
     
    class CRepro
    {
          public static void printObjectState(object obj)
          {
                Console.WriteLine("=== " + obj.GetType().FullName + " ===");
                foreach(PropertyInfo prop in obj.GetType().GetProperties())
                {
                      if (prop.DeclaringType == obj.GetType())
                      {
                            if (prop.GetValue(obj, null).GetType().GetInterface("ICollection") != null)
                            {
                                  Console.WriteLine("=== " + prop.GetValue(obj, null).GetType().FullName + " ===");
                                  foreach(object collectionObj in (ICollection)prop.GetValue(obj, null))
                                  {
                                        printObjectState(collectionObj);
                                  }

                      printObjectState(e);
                      Stream stream = File.Open("DBException.bin", FileMode.Create);
                      BinaryFormatter bformatter = new BinaryFormatter();
                      bformatter.Serialize(stream, e);

                      // Deserialize
                      stream = File.Open("DBException.bin", FileMode.Open);
                      bformatter = new BinaryFormatter();
