XmlSerializer

Question

Below I am using XmlSerializer write the object data out to xml file. In the object I have 8 elements worth of data. The serializer is only writing the last element to the file and not all the elements. Do you know why. when I look in the m_file I see all the data I need. But all the data so not go to the file. // serialize XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(DutyCycleTimes)); TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fileName); serializer.Serialize(writer file null); writer.Close();

Hi Try this SerializeObject( DutyCycleTimes DutyCycleTimes .GetType() ) public string SerializeObject( object obj Type type) { int count; byte [] byteArray; char [] charArray; System.Text. UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding (); XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer (type); using ( MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream ()) { xs.Serialize(memStream obj); // Set the position to the beginning of the stream. memStream.Seek(0 SeekOrigin .Begin); // Read the all bytes from the stream. byteArray = new byte [memStream.Length]; count = memStream.Read(byteArray 0 ( int )memStream.Length); // Decode the byte array into a char array // and write it to the console. charArray = new char [encoding.GetCharCount(byteArray 0 count)]; encoding.GetDecoder().GetChars(byteArray 0 count charArray 0); } return new string (charArray); } Regards Iftikar

Actually what I had is works I was new the object every time which gives a new instance. So it was my mistake. Your logic works also. My logic is shorter and to the point. also go to the thread regarding profile pic and respond to my last question. is there a simpler way to accomplish what I am trying to do for the HTML profile image.
