 thanks you in advanced


public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
    private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox textBox1;
    private System.Windows.Forms.CheckedListBox checkedListBox1;
    private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;
public Form1()
    {
    InitializeComponent();
    }

static void Main()
    {
    Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
    }
private void checkedListBox1_ItemCheck(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs e)
    {

}

What do you mean with "serialize this attached Form"?

What's there to serialize, and what do you need the serialized output for?

hi
i want to serialize this form.
thats all
thanks koby

This is still not very useful. How do you want to serialize it? What do you need it for?
If all you want to do is a simple serialize, copy the text for the form and paste it in a new text document. But I am sure that's not what you're after ;)

I think kobystud needs to have a row content a serialized number from 1 to N!
Am I right?!

hello
i want to explain my qustion:
what i want to do is to save the state of the controls in the form.
i mean that if i check 2 indices in checklistbox and exit from the program i want to save this state of checklistbox control and when i enter again to this program i want to open the file that i saved before and see the two indices checked.
i hope i explain myself more clearly.
i need a specific answer for this
thank you very much
koby

Right, I see; that explains a lot.

I don't think it's easy (if possible at all) to truly serialize a form. It's quite a complex object, so it;s a daunting task (unless there is built-in support that I don't know off).

I think the easiest way is to create two methods called LoadState and SaveState (or whatever you see fit). The SaveState gets the information from the form and gets the state from all fields (checkboxes, text boxes etc) that differs from the default and saves it to the registry, or to the an application config / xml file.

The LoadState does the opposite and get the information when the application starts, and restores the form.

Does this help?
