The class data as is won't work... You should implement a SaveToStream,
LoadFromStream on your class and process the data fields 1 at a time... Remember
that references will not transfer so write an image of memory would stuff all dynamic
arrays and strings as these are just references in your instance memory space.
Add a constructor CreateFromStream which takes a stream and calls loadFromStream
to clean up the creation process if you like.
