.net - Serialize PrinterSettings gives exception -

Text after "

. I am trying to apply PrinterSettings (VB.NET 3.5), but reading back takes exceptions here is the code I am using. Works fine on other types of objects.

I have tried to change the default printer to a different printer, which has also used a Microsoft XPS document writer.

I read that serializing printersettings was a problem that was a .NET 1.1, but was correct in 2.0.

I'm sure it's something dumb I ...

  dim p = new Printing.PrinterSettings dim L_PrintPageSettings = new System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings P = L_PrintPageSettings.PrinterSettings try as dim objStreamWriter new StreamWriter ( "C: \ Product.xml") dim x new XmlSerializer (p.GetType) x.Serialize (objStreamWriter, P) (as objStreamWriter.Close) ' as a new object text file Deserialize objStreamReader dim new StreamReader for ( "C: \ Product.xml") dim p2 as new Printing.PrinterSettings p2 = x.Deserialize (objStreamReader) objStreamReader.Close () catch ex exception In form of Do end  

to

class is not IXmlSerializable. Try the advantage of the fact that it is commented with Serializable attribute.

or a BinaryFormatter, or use a NetDataContractSerializer a DataContractSerializer (note that in the past the same .NET 3.5 SP1)

this is a human-readable output the production then you probably he would do would be best off using

see for example DataContractSerializer bottom of this article:
