I've this custom class:
public class MyClass
{
private byte byteValue;
private int intValue;
private MyClass myClass1= null;
private MyClass myClass2 = null;
}
obviously I also have constructor and get/set methods.
In my main form I initialize a lot of MyClass
object (note that in MyClass
object I have reference to other 2 MyClass objects). After initialization I iterate through a first MyClass
item, call it for instance "root". So, for example I do something like:
MyClass myClassTest = root.getMyClass1();
MyClass myClassTest2 = myClassTest.getMyClass1();
and so on.
No I want to store in a binary file, all the MyClass
object instantiated, in order to get them again after software restart.
I have totally no idea on how to do this, can someone please help me? Thanks.
First add the attribute [Serializable] before the class declaration. More about the attributes go to: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z0w1kczw.aspx
Note: all the class members must be also serializable. For serializing the object to binary you can use the following code sample:
And for the deserializing from binary:
