Serializing textboxes...

[decrypt]

I'm having some trouble serializing textboxes here is the code:

Edit: never mind I got it to work, this is the code if anyone wants to serialize textboxes:

 

Class Save:

<Serializable()> Public Class Save
   Public FirstName As String '= "Name" ' I cut out this part
   Public LastName As String '= "email" ' and this
   Public email As String '= "email" ' and this to make it work :)
End Class

Other Code:

Private Ser As New Save

Imports System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary 
Imports System.Xml.Serialization

Serializing:

    Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As _
   System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
       Ser.FirstName = CType(TextBox2.Text, String)
       Ser.LastName = CType(TextBox3.Text, String)
       Ser.Email = CType(TextBox4.Text, String)

       Dim myFileStream As Stream = File.Create("Save.bin")
       Dim serializer As New BinaryFormatter
       serializer.Serialize(myFileStream, Ser)
       myFileStream.Close()
   End Sub

 

Deserializing:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
       If File.Exists("Save.bin") Then
           Dim myFileStream As Stream = File.OpenRead("Save.bin")
           Dim deserializer As New BinaryFormatter
           Ser = CType(deserializer.Deserialize(myFileStream), _
       Save)
           myFileStream.Close()
       End If
       TextBox2.Text = Ser.FirstName
       TextBox3.Text = Ser.LastName
       TextBox4.Text = Ser.email
   End Sub

Just curious as to why are you using CType to convert strings to strings in the serializing bit. The .Text properties are already a string.

oh, I never knew that, i must have forgotten :P It doesn't really matter though :P
