Hi,

I have a little problem.
I have made a 'game editor' in wich i can make maps for my 'game'. I can save the maps in my 'game editor' so I can load them in my 'game' (other project file).

My Classes look like this:

Code:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml.Serialization

Public Class MapSaver

    Public Shared Sub SaveMap(ByVal Map As Map, ByVal fileName As String)

        Dim ser As New XmlSerializer(GetType(Map))
        Dim fs As New FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create)

        ser.Serialize(fs, Map)

        fs.Close()
        fs.Dispose()

    End Sub

End Class

Public Class Map

    Public Tile(MAX_X * MAX_Y) As TileRec

    Public MAX_X As Integer
    Public MAX_Y As Integer

    Public Npc(50) As MapNpcRec
    Public Item(50) As MapItemRec

    Public Name As String
    Public Moral As Integer
    Public SwitchOver(3) As Integer

    Public Structure MapItemRec

        Public X As Integer
        Public Y As Integer
        Public ItemID As Integer
        Public ItemAmmount As Integer

    End Structure

    Public Structure MapNpcRec

        Public SpawnX As Integer
        Public SpawnY As Integer
        Public X As Integer
        Public Y As Integer
        Public NpcID As Integer
        Public ItemAmmount As Integer

    End Structure

    Public Structure LayerRec

        Public Ground As TileDataRec
        Public Mask As TileDataRec
        Public Mask2 As TileDataRec
        Public Fringe As TileDataRec
        Public Fringe2 As TileDataRec

    End Structure

    Public Structure TileRec

        Public Layer As LayerRec
        Public Attribute As AttributeRec

    End Structure

    Public Structure TileDataRec

        Public imgX As Integer
        Public imgY As Integer
        Public Tileset As Integer
        Public Draw As Boolean

    End Structure

    Public Structure AttributeRec

        Public Attribute As Integer
        Public Value As Integer
        Public Value2 As Integer

    End Structure

End Class

Public Class MapLoader

    Public Shared Function LoadMap(ByVal fileName As String) As Map

        Dim ser As New XmlSerializer(GetType(Map))
        Dim fs As New FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open)
        Dim ret As Map

        ret = DirectCast(ser.Deserialize(fs), Map)

        fs.Close()
        fs.Dispose()

        Return ret

    End Function

End Class
Now the problem is, that my 'game' will not read the maps from the 'game editor'. but the 'game editor' can load saved maps what I made earlier with it.

This means its possible to Save & Load maps in my 'game editor', but i can't load the maps in my 'game'. Can someone help me so I can use my maps that I make in my''game editor' are also useable in my 'game'?

thanks
