    <p>I have the following code: </p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.IO; namespace ConsoleApplication28 { class Program { static void Main() { List&lt;string&gt; dirs = FileHelper.GetFilesRecursive(@"c:\Documents and Settings\bob.smith\Desktop\Test"); foreach (string p in dirs) { Console.WriteLine(p); } //Write Count Console.WriteLine("Count: {0}", dirs.Count); Console.Read(); } static class FileHelper { public static List&lt;string&gt; GetFilesRecursive(string b) { // 1. // Store results in the file results list. List&lt;string&gt; result = new List&lt;string&gt;(); // 2. // Store a stack of our directories. Stack&lt;string&gt; stack = new Stack&lt;string&gt;(); // 3. // Add initial directory. stack.Push(b); // 4. // Continue while there are directories to process while (stack.Count &gt; 0) { // A. // Get top directory string dir = stack.Pop(); try { // B // Add all files at this directory to the result List. result.AddRange(Directory.GetFiles(dir, "*.*")); // C // Add all directories at this directory. foreach (string dn in Directory.GetDirectories(dir)) { stack.Push(dn); } } catch { // D // Could not open the directory } } return result; } } } } </code></pre> <p>The code above works well for recursively finding what files/directories lie in a folder on my c:.<br> I am trying to serialize the results of what this code does to an XML file but I am not sure how to do this. </p> <p>My project is this: find all files/ directories w/in a drive, serialize into an XML file. Then, the second time i run this app, i will have two XML files to compare. I then want to deserialize the XML file from the first time i ran this app and compare differences to the current XML file and produce a report of changes (i.e. files that have been added, deleted, updated). </p> <p>I was hoping to get some help as I am a beginner in C# and i am very very shaky on serializing and deserializing. I'm having lots of trouble coding. Can someone help me?</p> <p>Thanks</p>

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.
