Hello,
I have a small problem. In a test program, I wrote code to open and save a serialized structure. I created an array of that struct and saved it using binary formater. Everything was great, until I copied the info over to the current project; now I'm getting errors.
This is what I have:
The following is incomplete - errors. The errors are added separately; if I add brackets to LFS:
And if I remove the brackets:
However, if I add brackets to LoadSavedFile, the errors drop. The thing is, LoadSavedFile is the name of the structure which is a single instance/element(?).
I'm confused. I have read for hours, and I have achieved diddly - thankfully, that includes not throwing the beer bottle at the tv (my monitor).
If anyone has an answer or can send me to a good thorough and understandable resource to sort this out, that's cool too. I know VB.net is popular, but sometimes I would like to kick the developers for messing with and removing stuff they shouldn't. I could've had this done in a minute (maybe two) in VB6 using get and put.
Sigh.
Oh well, I have beer and the Clash (whoops, Kings of Leon, now) to keep me company.
Happy Eve',
Shawn
