Hy I want to be able to save the contents of a TreeView into a file … and I thought that if do a serialization of the object the problem will be solved … except that a can not do that because the TreeView control is not a serializable class … what else can I do … ? I ‘d also like to find a way to write stuff in xml files … or txt.. and than to be able to read and fill whatever with them … what’s the best solution .. .?
