I am trying to read in an XML document, add a record with a tag for the filename and write to a different XML document.I have been told I must use serialization.
View 2 RepliesI have an XML document that I am deserializing (VB .NET 3.5 Framework), changing some values, and the serializing again. The original document has several XML Comments in it. When I go through all the deserialize/serialize all of the comments are lost. Is there a way to preserve the comments? If not, is there a way to add comments on serialization without having to walk through with the writer and manually add all of the comments back in the appropriate place?
View 1 RepliesHow do I serialize and deserialize my main form (and its controls, subcontrols, their values, etc.)? Edit, for clarification. Currently I am writing the current value of each control to an .INI file, one by one and reading it back when the program is next run. Every time I add a new control, I have to remember to update that save/load .INI code.I just wondered if I can do it in one call, or a simple for loop iterating over all controls on the form.Btw, I use only simple controls like edit box, radio button, combo box, checkd listbox, the most complex thing I have is a datagrid, but even that is not linked to a databse.Accepted answer "can't. I will probably code my own, along the lines of ...

I think it isn't because the code I use will not work for a structure but it does work for other data types like an array, string etc

I just can't get it to serialize to this thing. I tried to generate the class using xsd but that produced a lot of garbage code and I really would like to maintain this by hand as it is easier than the monstrosity that xsd produced which didn't work anyway.

I have an ArrayList in android that I'm trying to convert to a Base64 String, then passing that to a wcf service though JSON and the wcf service inserts the string into a database. Then I need to be able to read that from the database and deserialize it in a .NET application.
This is how I am serializing the ArrayList in android:
private String convertByteArrayToSave(byte[] b){
if(b != null){
return Base64.encodeToString(b,0,b.length,Base64.DEFAULT);

The ultimate goal is to be able to be able to create a list of these shapes in the .NET app or android app and be able to read the list in the .NET app and android app no matter where it was created from. I'm able to it when you create the Shape from .NET and read it into android using WCF but creating it in android.
I have a question about serializing a Picturebox and it's child controls. I have a picturebox on my main form where a user can put new Picture boxes in.To a add a new Picturebox I say: Pictureboxmain.controls.add(Picturebox)But now I want to serialize this in a stream of bytes. I know that you can serialize an Arraylist as followed:[code]But is the same possible with a collection of controls?So now I tried this assuming the same method can be used with a control collection:[code]

I'm trying to serialize a data table in vb.net:
Dim dt As New System.Data.DataTable
and for the serializer:
Dim js As JavaScriptSerializer = New JavaScriptSerializer()
dim jsonString as string
jsonString=js.serialize(dt)
when it serialize the data table on the last line,it got an error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Web.Extensions.dll Additional information: A circular reference was detected while serializing an object of type 'System.Globalization.CultureInfo'I even make the simplest datatable with only 1 column and 1 row, but it just won't serialize it?
I have searched for an answer for a long time now, both generally ont he web and in several forums including this one. There are many people who asks this or similar qusetions, but the answers are often hard to understand, and quite often are answers to something other than what was asked from the beginning.I know that there are many skilled programmers out there, but most are not great teachers. So here is what I need: I have constructed a program in which the user can write values in textboxes, choose from lists (comboboxes) and make some choices by checking checkboxes. The data in the lists comes from a database, but I don't think that is really relevant here. What I want is, when all the choices are made and when the textboxes, comboboxes and so on have data (text or numbers) in them, I want the user to be able to save this to a file (XML perhaps?).
To speak plainly and visualize this to you, think of a roleplaying game (RPG), and that you fill out a character form with details about your character. Of course you want to save all this, and at some point retrieve it to make changes when you level up. I am not all that stupid when it comes to programming, but I have never tried to do something like this. My applications have had a database engin behind the GUI, and all the saving was done in tables at the far end of everything. Now I want to save data to a file instead. I have tried to find books (or a good tutorial here on the web), but most answers are for C (++. #, etc), or else they are hard to understand.
Is there anyone here who can help me or point me in the right direction? I'm not asking you to do my work for me, but som examples that are valid and that will help me understand the process whould be nice. So far I have recieved good help here on this forum from nice people.

I've got a web app that sends a request to a WCF service. The WCF service gets a LINQ resultset (anon. ilist) and sends that in reply, back to the web app.In order to get it working quickly, inside the WCF app, i'm using copytodatatable and sending it to my web app in a DataSet.
My web app then takes the DataSet and writes it to xml, some xslt is performed and the resulting data is shown on screen. Perfect.
I'm still (relatively) new to WCF. I understand that sending DataTables/DataSets is a bit cumbersome. The web app wants the data in xml format (for the xslt operation), so I figured I'd get the WCF web service to do the DataTable -> xml work for me, and simply reply with a nice XmlDocument to the client webapp.However a XmlDocument cannot be serialized.
What's the best way of sending the XML data down to the client over wcf?
I'm trying to serialize a data structure and pass it to another report via parameter, and this line of code:
Dim s As New System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(GetType(System.Collections.HashTable))
Produces this error:
An error occurred during local report processing. The definition of the report '/myReport' is invalid. There is an error on line 22 of custom code: [BC30002] Type 'System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer' is not defined.
How can I get around this? I have been able to use fully defined .NET classes in other lines of code, including the following:

Private colorMapping As New System.Collections.Hashtable()

Ok, so I'm playing with some FTP profile files that are written in XML. I'm trying to get the program to be able to read the current users settings and fill in or remove servers they do or don't have access to. So the XML looks like

it's probably more cosmetic than anything but the logic just doesn't flow to look over 'server' and not 'servers'?!
