What are these [...] ( i.e. [Serializable] ) ? are these obligatory ? What do they do ?

Jaish Mathews · Answer

Hi, An old article in 1.1 version saying abt the basics of serialization with a good example. Many methods used her may be absolete. But you will get a clear idea about read/write objects in a file. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/jaishmathews/ApplySerializationinaRealLifeSituation03252006092701AM/ApplySerializationinaRealLifeSituation.aspx?ArticleID=195aa9fd-3337-438f-a675-c4c83c7e75ae

Sam Hobbs · Answer

That is called serialization and deserialization . Objects that can be serialized are called serializable ; they inherit from the ISerializable interface. Another term that is frequently used is persistence; objects capable of serialization are capable of persistence . Search this web site for relevant articles and look at the System.Runtime.Serialization Namespace.

Sam Hobbs · Answer

Use the StreamReader and StreamWriter classes. Look for articles in this web site; if you cannot find articles here, the MSDN has samples.
