Serialize/deserialize objects - order of fields matters?

To be eligible for correct serialization / serialization by the DataContractSerializer all of the following must be true The class that must be serialized must have SerializableAttribute or DataContractAttribute set The properties and fields of the class that must be serialized require the DataMemberAttribute set The datatype of the serializable property or field must be serializable (i.e. , have a public ctor and inherit ISerializable) The class that must be serialized must implement IExtensibleDataObject Note: serializable fields can be either public or private Members must be in alphabetical order or you should use the Order property of the DataMemberAttribute EDIT: This last point I only found out while typing your answer The order of the declaration does matter. If members are not in alphabetical order, they are skipped.

Look up this answer at Stackoverflow for an example perhaps it applies to your case.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
