Serializing a Form

11
Hi,

I'm trying to save the state of a form in VB 2005 to a file so that the next time the program starts up the form will be reloaded to it's last state.

I did a bit of searching and it seemed to me that serialization is the way to accomplish this, but as far as I can tell you cannot serialize the entire form or just the controls on the form.

Therefore, I was hoping if someone could point me in the right direction. How do I save the sate of the program so that it can be reloaded the next time the program starts.

Thanks in advance,

One way to accomplish this is using a configuration file (.ini). Write all the settings of a form. : )
