How do you store a stoopid array in the stoopid ViewState?

[wASP]

I thought it was something relatively simple:

ViewState["SomeObj"] = SomeObj;

Then:

SomeObj = ViewState["SomeObj"];
So, in my own code, I have this on the initial load:
UInt32[] int_array = new UInt32[11];

... and:

ViewState["int_array"] = int_array;

THEN, on postback, I have this:

UInt32[] int_array = (UInt32[]) ViewState["int_array"];

... and:

for (UInt32 nn = 0; nn < 11; nn++)
int_array[nn] += 1;

On the FOR loop, an exception gets thrown:

Does anyone know what I need to do to store a stoopid array
in the stoopid ViewState?

It would improve my mental health to know this.

BTW: Is there any way to create an immediate array (from the program stack) in C#?

It seems like the only way to create an array is to dynamically allocate
the space for it and assign the pointer to a reference type.

IOW, In C++, it's sort of like this:

int (*int_array)[] = farmalloc (11);
... instead of like this:

int int_array[11];

I don't see anything in any docs on C# that will let you do that.

Did I miss something?

My Page_Init handler is as follows:
/* ------------------------------------------------------------------ */
/* ------------------------------------------------------------------ */

public void Page_Init (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int ndx = 3;

if (!Page.IsPostBa ck)
{ string msg1;
UInt32[] int_array = new UInt32[11];

msg1 = " first load: |";
for (UInt32 nn = 0; nn < 11; nn++)
int_array[nn] = 100 - nn;

for (UInt32 nn = 0; nn < 11; nn++)
msg1 = msg1 + int_array[nn].ToString() + "|";

msg1 = msg1 + "<br>";

Dyn_Control_Pla ceholder.Contro ls.Add
( new LiteralControl( msg1) );

ViewState["int_array"] = int_array;
}
else
{ string msg1 = " On postback: |";

UInt32[] int_array = (UInt32[]) ViewState["int_array"];

for (UInt32 nn = 0; nn < 11; nn++)
int_array[nn] += 1;

for (UInt32 nn = 0; nn < 11; nn++)
msg1 = msg1 + int_array[nn].ToString() + "|";

msg1 = msg1 + "<br>";

Dyn_Control_Pla ceholder.Contro ls.Add
( new LiteralControl( msg1) );
}

Dyn_Control_Pla ceholder.Contro ls.Add
( new LiteralControl( "<br>||| added 1 on init |||<br><br>") );

xPage_Load (sender, e);
}
