I know this sounds kinda boring, but.... In you're opinion, what is the best way to read/write?
I'm using:
Code:
Sub LoadFile(sFileName as String)
Dim Temp as String
Open App.Path & "\vector\" & sFileName For Input As #1
Input #1, Temp
Close #1
End Sub
Anyway, you get the Idea. So, how would I maximize my code If I wanted to Read/Write the Data From a User-Defined Type?
This is what it's probably going to be:
Code:
Option Explicit
Public Enum vgfNodeType
vgfLine = 0
vgfPolyLine = 1
vgfFilledPoly = 2
vgfInline = 3
End Enum
Public Type RGBInfo
R As Single
G As Single
B As Single
End Type
Public Type Node
NodeType as vgfNodeType
FilledColour As RGBInfo
LineColour As RGBInfo
LineStart() As POINTAPI
LineEnd() As POINTAPI
AntiAliased As Boolean
End Type
(by the way, I have POINTAPI defined as well)
So, my question is, what would be the best method for writing and reading the Node UDT?

If you open in binary, it's quite easy to store UDT's, but if you have dynamic arrays you should store the size of them too:
Code:
Dim n As Node, LS As Integer, LE As Integer 'or byte if you have a arrays smaller than 256
'Loading UDT
ff = FreeFile
Open file For Binary As ff
Get #ff, , LS
Get #ff, , LE
ReDim n.LineStart(LS)
ReDim n.LineEnd(LE)
Get #ff, , n
Close ff
'Saving UDT
ff = FreeFile
Open file For Binary As ff
LS = UBound(n.LineStart)
LE = UBound(n.LineEnd)
Put #ff, , LS
Put #ff, , LE
Put #ff, , n
Close ff
