ehe ehe ehe, how can I save my class?

[MrPolite]

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.

I'm quite confused, thanks for the help....
I'll get back to this thread later
