[solved] [2005] sterilization [/solved]

BinaryFormatter sterlizer = new BinaryFormatter();
MemoryStream picOut = new MemoryStream();
sterlizer.Serialize(picOut, "BLABLA" );


all that is getting put into picOut is a bunch of zeros, however the number of zeros does change depending on what i try to sterilize but it defiantly seems like there should be some ones too.

any one know what going on here.

picOut is an empty stream what do you expect it to have?

Sterilize?

yea i know i spelled it wrong for some reson unknow for me i pronouce it that way to. you know i cant have my objects going and having babbies or nothin. :)

But i was expect the Serialize method to change the string into a byte array and put that byte array in the picOut Stream.

and eventuly id like it to change an image into a byte array.

the following code in VB2003 is working fine:

Dim out As New MemoryStream
sterlizer.Serialize(out, "TEST123")
Dim bytearry As Byte()
bytearry = out.ToArray()

well i dont know what i changed but it seems to be working now
