Question about passing aspx pages into methods

[Jim Bancroft]

I have a .Net component I'm experimenting with that has a method like so:

public void CTest(System.Web.UI.Control myPage)
{
DataGrid myGrid= (DataGrid)
myPage.FindControl("DataGrid1");
foreach (DataGridItem item in myGrid.Items)
//etc...
}

When I call this component from an aspx page I get an error that tells me
"The type ASP.TestPage_aspx in Assembly.." <snip> "is not marked as
serializable"

I'm not quite sure what the problem is. Is it that you can't pass .aspx
pages into methods because of serialization issues, or am I making a mistake
passing it as a UI.Control, something higher up the inheritance foodchain?
If you have any leads or advice I'd be grateful. Thanks very much.

I can't imagine you'd be getting this unless you are doing something odd
with the page, like trying to store it in the session...certainly nothing
you've provided indicates what the problem could be.

you might wanna try a simple example and build on it 'til you find out what
exactly it is that you are doing incorectly.
