I have got a struct whose members consists only of fixed-length Strings. I want to write them out into a flat ASCII file with fixed length fields. Later I must be able to re-read the flat file and put the data back into an ArrayList of those structs.
Back in (I won't say "good old") VB6 days, I could use Put and Get with user defined Types (= .NET structs) for this. Is there an easy way (OTHER THAN manually writing out every member) to accomplish this? BTW, I know I could use Serialize and Binary or XML files, but due to reasons which are out of my influence, it HAS to be a fixed length ASCII text file.
