MFC Serialization

Neha

I have a class structure as follows: Class A: public CObject { } Class B: Public A { } Now I want to serialize pointer class B using CArchive. How can this be done? Regards

in .h file

class A : public CObject
{
public:
DECLARE_SERIAL( A )
// empty constructor is necessary
A(){};

void Serialize( CArchive& archive );

};

in .cpp file

IMPLEMENT_SERIAL( A, CObject, 1 )
void A::Serialize( CArchive& archive )
{
// call base class function first
// base class is CObject in this case
CObject::Serialize( archive );

// now do the stuff for our specific class
if( archive.IsStoring() )
     ///serialize it        
else
    //deserialise it

}

Hope this code help you , for further reading MSDN has good explanation for serialization.
