  Hi, I am using serialize () to write to a text file. I am passing serializable class object & an input file stream as parameters but when i open the text file i get a junky display containing some portion of input correct . Please have look at the output below. ********************************************

   CSerialFiling, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
  SerialFiling.CRecord maccount mfirstname mlastname
  
    ************************************ any suggestions how to correct this issue? Thanks.

    That's how it's supposed to look. The deserialize function is what is able to read that garbled mess. But that is what serializing it does, converts it to binary or xml data.

  ¿And how about the Nothing (Null) elements cast to Integer values when deserialize a xml? Example if the element is defined as Integer or double, an exception is thrown <ages> <age>10</age> <age>3</age> <age/> <age/> </ages> Any work about this? Thanks in advantage.
