    Is there a way to serialzie a listbox?

    Is there a way to serialzie a listbox and its items so it is faster to load all its items(it has like 175 000)?

    Or is there any other good way round? I have all items currently in a text file
    \m/\m/

    175,000 items? this is acually a big ammounf of data to be human usable one control, maybe you have to split the data into a size limited groups, and load each one only when it necessary.

    To serialize a listbox, I'm not sure the framework provides a way to serialize built in objects, but I don't discount it either. If you want to serialize the data, try reading it in to a collection and serializing the class that contains the collection.

    Just a thought.
    Whadayamean it doesn't work....
    It works fine on my machine!

    Did you try databases?
    I didn't mention in my last post that 175,000 is just a perfect example where the databases jump into the scene, text files aren't so efficient for holding sucha huge ammount of data.
