Dear All,

i have created my objects without using CSLA base classes.
this application is intended to save its objects into locally into an XML file. (no need to manage sql server)

i have implemented a simple serialization, it worked well.
now i changed my class and inherited from BusinessBase.
and the serialization is failing.
BrokenRulesCollection cannot be serialized

any solution?
Ivan

It is a well known fact that a CSLA BO cannot be serialized by the XML serializer.

You must use the binary serializer or derive your own method for saving the data.

thanks Joe,

I tried to implement binary serialization and it is very good so far.
i have an auth object, which has username, and password properties.

i want username to serialize, but password not. i put NonSerialized attribute before password, but it is still saved in output file.

what can be wrong?

" i put NonSerialized attribute before password"

Did you put it before the Property (wrong place)

or the Field? (right place)

thanks Joe,

i don't know what was the problem yesterday night (it's true it was too late)
of course i needed to change from property to field.

but when i checked today, the serialization works as expected.
username is serialized, and deserializing also, but the password needs to be entered always

thank you

Ivan
