Remarks

A server control can store its own custom properties and internal state information the PersonalizationDictionary specified in the state parameter. The information is stored as a series of name/value pairs. It is the responsibility of the control to use name/value pairs that it can recognize during subsequent calls made to the control through the Load method.

A control can reference its associated WebPartManager control and check the PersonalizationScope object to determine the current scope. Custom state information should be appropriate for the current scope. Note that each PersonalizationEntry value that is added to the PersonalizationDictionary object should be associated with the appropriate scope value, because the personalization infrastructure depends on this when merging Shared and User-scoped custom data prior to passing it to the Load method.

When using the standard ASP.NET implementation of Web Parts, controls must ensure that objects placed in the state dictionary can be serialized by the ASP.NET ObjectStateFormatter class. In practice, this means the following:

• Primitive .NET Framework types, strings, and collection-oriented .NET Framework types such as arrays, array lists, hash tables, and hybrid dictionaries, are automatically serializable.

• Custom types that supply their own TypeConverter classes capable of serializing to and deserializing from strings are considered serializable.

• Custom types that can be serialized by the BinaryFormatter class are considered serializable.
