I'm confused The message "Thanks for your help X| " doesn't represent a bad think... It was simply my ironic death, the death of the lost programmer... anonymous why i don't know...

Refer to Nish's excellent article on implementing collections in MC++. He uses one possible solution (flag to say if it is modified). James "Java is free - and worth every penny." - Christian Graus
Use one of the synchronization classes to ensure that only one thread can access the thread at a time (or multiple threads can read; but they must be done before a write could be performed). Look for the .NET Monitor and Mutex classes for more info (more are available but those two are off the top of my head). James

Correct; unfortunately MS didn't document this topic very well. The XmlSerializer doesn't use any of the other serialization stuff, no Serializable attribute nor ISerializable; I think its a shame myself. The XmlSerializer works by using the reflection.emit classes to construct a class that will place all the public fields/property's in an XML document; when it deserializes it tries to access the nodes in the document as the field/property name to place the value back in. When it does this it creates an instance of the object using the default constructor. It DOES let you control some functionality by using Attributes and the OverrideAttributes class; but I don't like that solution very well. James
