Ive got a question for all you gurus..

I am writing some stuff as a replacement for MS System.Windows.Forms.

If you put a picturebox on a form, the image object is serialized into
the resources of the form. When the form loads, the ResourceManager
deserializes the image (could be an image per locale).

private void InitializeComponent() {

System.Resources.ResourceManager resources = new
System.Resources.ResourceManager(typeof(Form3));

this.pictureBox1.Image =
((System.Drawing.Image)(resources.GetObject("pictureBox1.Image")));

.

}

 

If I create a replacement for the Image object - how can I make sure
that it will correctly deserialize from a form that was created using
.NET?

ie How do I deserialize to my image object from the ms image object.

Without digging into the classes, does my Image object need to have the
exact same members both private and public? Is it just variables I need
to worry about (because that's all that will get serialized)? Must the
order or the names be the same?

I will certainly be doing a different implementation to Microsofts -
with additional variables - If I mark these not to be serialized?

 

Am I missing some neat way of dealing with this?
