Justin, thanks for your response but I am still confused. Why do I need to
embed the object in another to pass to typeof? And what about setting
values? I want those to get serialized too. What if I have:
class Test
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
ToolDescriptor td = new ToolDescriptor();
td.Author = "Sam Gentile";
td.Description = "Tool Descriptor";
td.Name = "Tool Descriptor";
td.OrganizationURL = "http://www.microsoft.com";;
Type[] ourTypes = new Type[] {typeof(td) };
}
How do I get this to work?
You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or
