The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Bug #: 299 (SQL Hotfix)

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. A Dataset class is serialized in a Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0-based client application. You try to deserialize the Dataset class in a Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1-based server application. In this scenario, you receive the following exception in the client application:
'System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException' Additional information: Parse Error, no type associated with Xml key a3 System.Data.SerializationFormat System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Note You do not experience this problem when the following behavior occurs:
  • A Dataset class is serialized in the .NET Framework 1.1.
  • You deserialize the Dataset class in the .NET Framework 2.0.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the DataSet class has new fields in the .NET Framework 2.0 that were not in the .NET Framework 1.1.
