Object Serialization

Question

First Post - Hi,

 

Would welcone some help here please.

 

I have read a few tutorials on serilization and seems OK -  BUT I do not seem to be able to serialize any Form Objects eg Buttons, TextBoxes etc, which is the very reason I want to use it ;-))

 

I manage to compileOK but the farthest I get is the following
"
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

 

Additional information: The type System.Windows.Forms.Button in Assembly System.Windows.Forms, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 is not marked as serializable.
"

 

However the Class they are in is marked, and if I try to mark the objects themselves it says I cant do it!

 

Would really appreciate any help out there.

 

Many Thanks

 

Alan
