Keeping very specific state of custom usercontrol

Hey folks,
I'm creating a winforms application which looks like a typical search form.
The main form panel includes many small custom UserControls that are built using a checkbox and a textbox.
I want the user to be able to save the last search criterias for next operation.

I thought of serialization, but the problem is that I don't want to save ALL the properties of the UserControl, I just need the checkbox state (boolean) and textbox text (string).
I know you can serialize only specific properties by overriding ISerializable interface, but I also don't want to disallow Serializing the whole UserControl if needed.
Is there any way I can serialize those two values within the controls' context without overriding ISerializable?

does anyone have a better idea for this issue?

Thanks,

Mikey

You can have those details in the caching and later you can use it. if you dont want to lose the state of the control, just serialize and put it in cache. Finally deserialize the content and retaing those search criteria values. Hope this help you in achieving your goal, if so mark this post as answered.
