Serialization question

[blar58]

I have developed an indicator that uses a lot of dictionaries. I have to do a lot of merging copying dictionaries.....

Now I have created a method to copy one dictionary to another :

This is an extension method..

publicstatic T DeepClone<T>(this T a)
{
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
formatter.Serialize(stream, a);
stream.Position = 0;
return (T)formatter.Deserialize(stream);
}
}


Now I have to copy (DeepClone()) one dictionary that contains an object. Here is the class :

internalclass items
{
publicdouble up=0;
publicdouble down=0;
publicint dailyBars=0;
}

I get a message that items is not marked as serializable...

What do I have to do to serialize this object (items)...


I just put [Serializable()] in front of the class but didn't work..

Thank you

Unfortunately this is a more advanced C# question than the scope of what we can support. The general idea of how to serialize objects can be seen here though: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=4977
