Q: object serialization

Question

Hello everybody. I have a class. In this class I have a hashtable. I want whenever I fill this hashtable with information, the next time I start the program to be able to use the filled hashtable. I mean, if there is a way to skip filling it with every new initialization of the program. If there is a way to export the hashtable when it is filled and the next time to load it, I dunno. Any ideas? respect, chire
