Resource file serialization error

Sam

Hello good fellows,

I have a resource file in which I save all my controls settings.
It was OK until I did something that somehow disturbed saving of the resources.

When trying to save the file, I get a serialization exception with the error message
"control .....is not marked as serializable".

I can not read the file, as it is probably does not exist (I get reading header error).

The same saving error message is true for any control.
I made the class [Seriizable], made all controls public, but for no avail.

Attached is my method that takes care of saving. It is quite simple.

Thanks

Sam

Hello Frogleg,
Thanks for your support.

While your reply was correct, there is actually no need to do all that work.

The properties setting are done automatically by opening a ResourceSet (Writer and Reader).

As I wrote, my method worked before I made a change, and I found out that I simply deleted by mistake one word, namely the resource Text property.
Once added, all works fine as follows:

ResourceWriter rw = new ResourceWriter(file);

foreach (Control resource in Controls)
    {
           if ( resource is NumericUpDown )
        {
        rw.AddResource(resource.Name, resource.Text);
        }
    }
rw.Close();
