ehe ehe ehe, how can I save my class?

eeh I'm making a program that creates vector-based graphics. Now my problem is that I dont know how to save everything in a single file. For example, I have a class that contains Bitmaps, textureBrushes, strings,....
Is there a way to do this via serialization? I don't know anything about it :(

Here is a serialization example for both binary and xml.

dont tell me I have to pass all the variables to the constructor? plz!:(
I have about 10 properties, and like 25 private variables. And I have 4 classes that are all like this :(

would your example work if I have a bitmap too? you said binary... just double checking.

No that is not required I just did that to fill the props quick. Although if you use XML then you should have a default (no parameter) constructor or else it gets a bit funky. Yes you can do Binary. Just make sure all the child properties are serializable as well.
