Hello,

Currently, there is no way which can help us debug into the serialization
process. Since you suspect the extende property, you may temporarily remove
it from your dataset to see if it can fix the error.

And, here is an article about how to serialize a dataset into binary format:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q326504

If you want a XML format result, you may try the dataset's GetXML() method
instead of serialization.

Hope this help,

I have a DataSet, and when it is serialized something is causing an
exception.
"System.ArgumentException: The attribute local name cannot be empty"
is at the top of the stack trace. I think an extende property on one
of the DataTables is causnig a problem but I don't know where.

How can I trap this programatically?

Is there a better way to do this, maybe put the DataSet into a binary
array before it is passed to the Remoted proxy?
