Question

I want to use Serialization but that class not serialazale. do i need to create my own serialazable class or there is some more easy way to save this class in binary mode in .net?

Answer 1

You should either create your own serializable class to do that, or you could create a method for saving the relevant data from the non-serializable class.

Answer 2

how do you plan to serialize it? it is just a wrapper over winapi structure. you can't set any property of it, they are read-only.

Answer 3

You have one option here: Create your own "wrapper" for your needs (it can be serializable class as well).
