read/write a struct into a file

[edwingt]

I have a struct in vb.net like:

 

structure test

dim element1 as string

dim element2 as integer

dim element3 as bool

end structure

 

dim varTest as test

 

 

I want to write and read the whole struct variable varTest

in a file.

 

I already try with fileput command like

 

fileput(freefile,binarymodeRead,varTest)

and it looks like it work

 

but when I try to read de struct with fileget

fileget(freefile,binarymodeWrite, varTest)

the app give me this error

 

Is there another way to read/write the whole struct into or from

a file.

I would recommend looking into XML Serialization for doing things like that. XML Serialization the object or objects you want to write to a file a lays them out in an XML file. If you search Google for XML Serialization you should find a lot of examples and tutorials. And then use Deserialization to read back the file.
