| Hi all, is it possible to serialize an instance of an unknown class, that is a class where I don't specifically know which fields it has. Ta! -Chris |

| You would need reflection for that and Monkey doesnt support reflection. |
| ||
| Got ya, thank you. |
| ||
| you could write a program in blitzmax to read the monkey file, It would create a method for your class called ToString Blitzmax reads the fields of your class and writes the method to the monkey file I was going to do this myself but havent had a need yet. |

| I have seen a reflection modul some updates ago. So I think Mark is still working on it. Mfg Suco |

| i had a look at the reflection module and its the framework for saving and writing strings to xml basically, you still have to write the code for each individual field. |

If you're talking about the serialization module in diddy, unfortunately that's the only way I could make things serializable. If Mark adds reflection, I'll change it. |

| still useful though, if i eventually make that blitzmax program |
