Can anyone please explain to me why the code below throws an exception?
It seems to occur when deserializing an instance of a subclass, whose
base class holds a struct, where said struct holds an instance to a
reference type (but not System.String).
The commented out code are lines that when enabled (and any conflicting
lines disabled) stop the exception from being thrown.
Thanks kindly,
Andrew.

The exception you are getting is because Child is not serializable. you
need to take out the comments on ISerializable from the Child class.

Hi, Ben,
Sorry, the code I posted incorrectly had the brace on the same line as
the class declaration for the child class; thus it won't compile "as
is", when I intended it to.
However, I believe the child class *is* serializable, because it is
marked with the SerializableAtt ribute; implementing ISerializable is
not necessary for a class to be considered serializable. The
interesting thing there is that implementing my own custom
serialization scheme by implementing the ISerializable interface
causes the problem to go away, while achieving the desired result
(serialize and deserialize).
Similarly, if we store a System.String in the struct, there is no
exception. Or if we serialize/deserialize an instance of the base
class rather than the subclass, even though the subclass doesn't
define any new characteristics .
Thanks!
Andrew.

Hi All!
I have noticed a strange behavior when using a constant identifier to
initialize an instance list variable in a base class and then trying to
modifying the list in subclasses by using either the list.extend method or
even by having the subclass create a whole new list in the variable.
The following example illustrates the situation.

Actually, the class I'm serializing is two steps down in the inheritance
ladder. It's got a parent class which also has a parent class :( All those
classes in the hierarchy are Xml Serializable, and I'd think that it should
be obvious that all...

In C++ an overridden virtual function in a derived class must have the exact
same signature of the function which is overridden in the base class, except
for the return type which may return a pointer or reference to a derived
type of the base class's return type.
In .NET the overridden virtual function is similar, but an actual parameter
of the function can be a derived reference from the base class's reference
also.

Hi,
I am in a situation where I feel I am being forced to abandon a clean
module structure in favor of a large single module. If anyone can save
my sanity here I would be forever grateful.
My problem is that classes in several modules share a common base
class which needs to implement a factory method to return instances of
these same classes.
