Jeremy,

Do you happen to have a class that we could deserialize this information back to? Say for example, if you wanted to read the xml files back into program.

I attempted to use VS2008 to create a scheme and auto create a class with xsd.exe but was unsuccessful.

Dear Joel,

No, I do not. The only experience I have with .NET and serialisation is described in

Cheers, Jeremy.

I had actually made a family data reader very similiar to the seek one. Its good to see we ended up with some of the same decisions.

I believe the reason that ColumnFinish material parameter is not listed is because it returns an elementid and they did not want to search for the name that corresponed to the elementID. I too chose not to return any paramter that returned an elementID.

Serialization is actually really simple if you have a class to serialize. Maybe after AU I can write up a simple demo for you.

Dear Joel,

Congratulations on that, it does indeed sound good. Yes, I as not surprisd to note the missing element id parameter, your explanation makes perfect sense to me. I agree that it is a simple schema, and a little demo is always more than welcome!

Cheers, Jeremy.
