    Create a new stream

    The following code:

    VB Code:
    1. Dim s As Stream

    2. b.Serialize(s, ToSerialize)

    Doesn't work... why?

    When I try to do "Dim S As New Stream", it won't let me...

    But when I try the above code, it tells me that S = Nothing and won't let it serialize...

    Thanks for any help...

    A stream is an abstract class. You need to use one of it's derived child classes.

    Some days when I think about the next 30 years or so of my life I am going to spend writing code, I happily contemplate stepping off a curb in front of a fast moving bus.

    So, is there any stream other than the FileStream that I can use to do this?

    The stream that I am using is just going to be fed directly into a database OLE field... so I don't need to create a file or anything, just keep the stream in memory

    L8R,

    Amazingly enough, there is a class called MemeoryStream.
