Global properties

[Art]

Hi,

I could really use some suggestions. I've got a project that has a few
global variables -- such as default paths. I'd like to save and recall them.
It seemed to me that the best way is to serialize them to an XML file.

Normally, if I have a few global variables I put them in a module. I don't
know if I can serialize a module -- it seems fairly easy to serialize a class.

I assume everyone has to do something like this, and that there must be a
fairly standard way of handling these variables. Can anyone offer me any
suggestions?

Thanks very much

I don't believe you can serialize a module but you can create a serializable
class that has all your variables as properties then serialize it to a file
when you exit your application and deserialize it when your application
starts. You can the access the properties of the class.

Art,

The answer is simple. Try to avoid modules (you don't really need them,
although a shared class is almost the same)..
