How to convert NameValue Collection when using ViewState

[Nicole - ASP/C# Beginner]

Hi,

I am trying to store a NameValue collection within a ViewState like this:
StoreFilterSele ction = ViewState["StoreFilterSel ection"];

YEt I recieve an error "Cannot implicityly convert type 'system.type' to
'system.collect ions.specialize d.nameValueColl ection".

Can I store a NameValuecollec tion in a viewstate and how can I read what is
save in this collection so I can update it from page to page.

Hi,
Assign the collection directly to the view state as in
ViewState["StoreFilterSel ection"] = StoreFilterSele ction;

While retrieving it, typecast explicitly:
StoreFilterSele ction =
(NameValueColle ction)(ViewStat e["StoreFilterSel ection"]);

HTH.
