Serializing a generics SortedList

Is it possible to serialize SortedList<T,V> or do I need to come up
with my own method to get the data into and out the list? I'm pretty
sure I know that it's "no" I'm just curious if there are any tricks
around.

Here's the error I get when I attempt to serialize a SortedList<T,V>

Unhandled Exception: System.NotSuppo rtedException: The type
System.Collecti ons.S
ortedList is not supported because it implements IDictionary.

I should have mentioned that I'm trying to serialize the SortedList
using XmlSerialize not a binaryformatter .

After finding the article on msdn I realize you can't serialize to XML
anything with IDictionary unless you implement your own IXmlSerializer
and I'm just not in the mood, I found a way to do it by copying my
SortedList<T,V> to a List<T> and damm if that didn't do the trick.

I'd still like to know why List<T> can be serialied but SortedList<T,V>
can't.

Hi - Does anyone know a way to created a SortedList (in the System.Collections namespace) that will sort on VALUES instead of KEYS... ? The scenario is this - I have a SortedList containing key-value pairs of UserID - DisplayName for a whole bunch of user objects. The UserID is simply a long, the DisplayName is something like, "Jones, Bill". I want the SortedList to sort the names alphabetically, rather than by

When does serializing objects make more sense than persisting them to a database? I'm new to object serialization, and I'm trying to get a feel for when to use it. Here is an example: I'm writing an accounting application. I have a chart of accounts in the form of a containment hierarchy. A GeneralLedger contains a number of Accounts, and each of these Accounts can contain a Aubledger, which contains its own Accounts, and so on. The...

Could somebody say why the piece of code below does not work? My purpose is to renumber keys in a SortedList (after removal of an item) so that the keys would always contain an unbroken sequence of integers starting with 1. For some reason this is not the result. IDictionaryEnumerator dictEnum = sortedList.GetEnumerator(); int i=1; while ( dictEnum.MoveNext() ) { DictionaryEntry de = (DictionaryEntry) dictEnum.Current;

I have authored a web service using ASP 2.0. The web services return objects that use generics and that also contain circular references. Programmatically, everything works well, as long as you use the web service proxy client generated by visual studio. However, the default test harness provided by the .asmx file errors out because it seems to use XmlSerialization and cannot handle circular references. I understand that the...

I started writing .net code yesterday and I am grasping it well enough. I have a few questions about SortedLists. I am using managed C++ if that makes any difference. Of the examples I have seen it looks like the Sorted List does not use the ^ while other variables do use the ^. I have used the SortedList with the ^ and gcnew and it seems to work fine. So the question is...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
