Hello all,

     I am looking for a solution to saving the contents of a collection
of objects to disk and then reading the data back into the collection.

        Suppose I have this collection called "Col" and each item is an
object called "ID". The ID object has two properties called "Name" and
"Address". The Col has 1 ... n number of ID objects. What I would like
to do is save the entire collection to a disk file and at some later
time, retrieve the values back into the collection. Naturally, the
program stops after the save and then, perhaps, the next day it is
started up again. 

      I think the Serialization attribute plays a big part in this, but
frankly I don't know how to use that attribute nor be able to read the
serialized data back in. 

      May I ask for someone to point me to some possible on line
solutions or if this is relatively simple, show me how it might be done?


Thank you very much.


Best regards,


Jerry Knowlton
