remoting datatable compression issue

[pavan]

hi,

Please refer this article because that is the dll iam using for
compression/decompression of datatables.
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20031219.asp
This is a windows application in C# & iam using remoting extensively
for my
database layer.

In the remote server iam having a method which returns byte[] instead
of
datatable using the compression logic mentioned in the article.

The code is below,

PAB.CompressDataSet.Wrapper objCompressData = new
PAB.CompressDataSet.Wrapper() return return
objCompressData.CompressDataTable(
objData.ExecQryRetDT("sp_name",CommandType.StoredP rocedure,colParams));

The above code returns a compressed byte array.

Now in the client side . i decompress it & convert it to datatable.

PAB.CompressDataSet.Wrapper objUnCompress = new
PAB.CompressDataSet.Wrapper();
DataTable
dtTable=objUnCompress.DecompressDataTable(obj.Exec QryRetDT("sp_name",CommandType.StoredProcedure,col Params));
It is during ths conversion i receive a serializationexception & that
too in
most machines. But in some machines it works for atleast one remoting
server. It is quite a strange thing.

THis compressdataset dll mentioned in the article does not have source
code
..
U can visit http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20040311.asp
which has the source code fr ths dll

I even ran the source referencing ths new dll & i found out it is in
wrapper.cs class the exception is happenning & it is when the stream is
being deserialized using the compactformatter.cs.
This is the exact method where the error occurs
private object Deserialize(Stream Wire,ref Object parent) method
& at ths line
InnerList[i].SetValue(Answer,Deserialize(Wire,ref Temp));
Error Stack information is below,

Can u please help me on this because i think some small mistake in the
compactformatter code is resultin in this error.

Let me know if u need any further information.

Thanks,
Pavan
