' VB.NET code to save the ArrayList object to file

news:11**********************@i40g2000cwc.googlegr oups.com... Well I wrote this code that saved a Serialized ArrayList to disk in
VB.NET and tried to read it in with another one in C#. Got some funny
exception about my Assembly (can't rember exactly), what's with the
assembly stuff.
