Resource file serialization error

Question

Hello good fellows I have a resource file in which I save all my controls settings. It was OK until I did something that somehow disturbed saving of the resources. When trying to save the file I get a serialization exception with the error message control .....is not marked as serializable. I can not read the file as it is probably does not exist (I get reading header error). The same saving error message is true for any control. I made the class [Seriizable] made all controls public but for no avail. Attached is my method that takes care of saving. It is quite simple. Thanks Sam

You should use properties.Settings Here is a sample

Hello Frogleg Thanks for your support. While your reply was correct there is actually no need to do all that work. The properties setting are done automatically by opening a ResourceSet (Writer and Reader). As I wrote my method worked before I made a change and I found out that I simply deleted by mistake one word namely the resource Text property. Once added all works fine as follows: ResourceWriter rw = new ResourceWriter(file); foreach (Control resource in Controls) { if ( resource is NumericUpDown ) { rw.AddResource(resource.Name resource. Text ); } } rw.Close();
