RE: Serialization problem

[Eric]

Here is my code bytheway:

Website (rc is a structure):
Try
Dim fs As New FileStream(RapportName, FileMode.Create)
Dim bf As New BinaryFormatter

bf.Serialize(fs, rc)
fs.Flush()
fs.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "alert",
"<script>alert('Error');</script>")
End Try

Application (rm is the same structure):

Dim fs As New FileStream(filenaam, FileMode.Open)
Dim bf As New BinaryFormatter

Dim rm As New RecordMonet
rm = CType(bf.Deserialize(fs), RecordMonet)
fs.Close()

fs = Nothing
bf = Nothing

...

<Serializable()> Public Structure RecordMonet
Public sOperator1 As String
Public sSitenummer1 As String
Public sOperator2 As String
Public sSitenummer2 As String
Public sOperator3 As String
Public sSitenummer3 As String
Public DatumInventarisatie As Date
Public sPartij As String
Public sPersoon As String
Public sFunctie As String

Public Items As Data.DataSet
Public fotos As Data.DataSet

Public sEmailZender As String
Public sEmailOntvanger As String

Public name As String
End Structure
