serializing types

[Paul]

I am trying to serialize an instance of a class
(CommandInfo) that contains information about a method.
An instance of this class contains two variables:

MethodName
ParmCollection

The method name is a string (such as "Delay") and the parm
collection is a collection of argument types that the
method requires. I get this information from the
MethodInfo object that I get from sending "GetMethods" to
a class type.

If the parm type is of a class that I created then I can
successfully serialize the class out (as a SOAP file) and
read it back in.

However, if the parm type is an Int16 it appears to have
problems. For example, a method whose info I'm capturing
might be called "Delay" and requires one parm, maybe:

"millisecondsToDelay as Int16"

When I de-serialize the file, the ParmCollection's Count
is 1 but it's "Nothing" and not the type for an Int16.

Any ideas?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your post. I reviewed your description carefullly, could you
please post some code snippet which demostrating how you
serialize/deserialize the ParmCollection so that we can check what's going
on?

I look forward to your response.

Have a nice day!
