Hi marck68,

In the case of serializing a series of objects to a file, you must read them back in, in the same order.

There was a recent thread which gave an example of serialization, I will see if I can find it. :-)

Depends what kind of object.

If it is a list of strings then it is not even clever to serialize it first.

So asking what is the fastest way to go from here to New York, if we don't know where for you here is it is impossible to answer.

Be aware that a class cannot be serialized, you can only serialize an object where you need the Type (Class)
