[MonoTouch] custom object serialization from monotouch using NSUserDefaults?

[Chris Sells]

Even if I don’t want to have a separate settings app, don’t I still need to use NSUserDefaults to get settings backed up via iTunes?

Chris' question is still valid. XML serialization to an arbitrary XML file in the filesystem will work in the general case.  The problem is, if your app wants to use the Settings application, you will still need to access NSUserDefaults since that's where those settings get stored if I remember correctly.  I haven't tried it yet on MonoTouch so I can't provide a quick answer.

I am serializing to the file system as a .xml file and reloading them via deserialization.

 

Thanks!

Where are you serializing to? User defaults?

I’m using XML serialization of object graphs. You don’t need objc API’s to achieve this. Just plain old .NET J

 

Thanks!

Is it possible? NSCoder doesn’t seem to have the methods I except. What are folks doing here? I wrote my own little serializer, but it’s prefer to use the real one.

 

Or, is there another way to get custom object serialization into user settings besides NSUserDefaults? I’m open.
