Serialization is the process of saving the state of an object into persistant medium.
BinaryFormatter class is used for serializing and deserializing an object.
HybridDictionary is optimized for key-based item retrieval from both small and large collections.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
HybridDictionary hd;
FileStream fs;
BinaryFormatter bf;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
hd = new HybridDictionary();
hd.Add("Sh", "Shalvin");
hd.Add("Sa", "Saji");
foreach (DictionaryEntry de in hd)
listBox1.Items.Add(de.Key + " " + de.Value);
fs = new FileStream(@"c:\Sh.data", FileMode.Create);
bf = new BinaryFormatter();
bf.Serialize(fs, hd);
fs.Close();
}
I like it very much!
