I'm trying to serialize a custom object into a file. i've tried many thing but no one works, i must have missed a thing. Here's the problem. I have a singleton class i'm using to store my objects. Here is the code : <pre><code>using DataLibrary.Model.Tests; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using System.Runtime.Serialization; using System.Xml.Serialization; using testsPsychotechniques.View; namespace testsPsychotechniques.Model { [Serializable()] public class testSaver : ISerializable { private String lastName; private String firstName; private List<ITest> tests; public static testSaver Instance { get { return Nested.instance; } } public void addTest(ITest test) { tests.Add(test); } public Boolean save() { try { FileStream file = File.Open(".\\result.data", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.None); XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(testSaver)); serializer.Serialize(file, testSaver.Instance); file.Close(); return true; } catch { return false; } } private testSaver() { this.firstName = Identification.firstName; this.lastName = Identification.lastName; this.tests = new List<ITest>(); } private class Nested { internal static readonly testSaver instance = new testSaver(); } public void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context) { info.AddValue("lastName", this.lastName); info.AddValue("firstName", this.firstName); info.AddValue("testsResults", this.tests); } } } </code></pre> Now the real problem : When i'm calling the save method, in the xml file generated i only have this data : <pre><code><?xml version="1.0"?> <testSaver xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" /> </code></pre> The classes implementing the <code>ITest</code> interface are all marked serializable and have a method getObjectData. Another hint is that the functions getObjectData are never used. Thanks for any help

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
