Binary Serialization

Hello,
I am trying to serialize (binary) a class and save it in a database. I followed a few examples I found in internet and this is what I came up with: 1 ' Rows
2 <Serializable()> _
3 Public Class Rows
4 Implements ISerializable
5
6 Private _Rows As New Generic.List(Of Row)
7 Public Property Rows() As Generic.List(Of Row)
8 Get
9 Return _Rows
10 End Get
11 Set(ByVal value As Generic.List(Of Row))
12 _Rows = value
13 End Set
14 End Property ' Rows
15
16 ' New
17 Public Sub New()
18 End Sub ' New
19
20 ' New
21 Public Sub New(ByVal siRows As SerializationInfo, ByVal scRows As StreamingContext)
22 End Sub ' New
23
24 ' GetObjectData
25 Public Sub GetObjectData(ByVal siRows As SerializationInfo, ByVal scRows As StreamingContext) Implements ISerializable.GetObjectData
26
27 siRows.AddValue("Rows", Me.Rows)
28
29 End Sub ' GetObjectData
30
31 Public Sub Serialize(ByVal filename As String)
32
33 Dim sRows As Stream = Stream.Null
34 Try
35 sRows = File.Open(filename, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite)
36 Dim bfRows As New BinaryFormatter
37 bfRows.Serialize(sRows, Me)
38 Finally
39 sRows.Close()
40 End Try
41
42 End Sub ' Serialize
43
44 Public Shared Function Deserialize(ByVal filename As String) As Rows
45
46 Dim sRows As Stream = Stream.Null
47 Try
48 sRows = File.Open(filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
49 Dim bfRows As New BinaryFormatter
50 Return CType(bfRows.Deserialize(sRows), Rows)
51 Finally
52 sRows.Close()
53 End Try
54
55 End Function ' Deserialize
56
57 End Class ' Rows
 
After serializing the class I need to save it in an a SQL 2005 database.But all the examples I followed use the filename ... Anyway, do I need to do something to save this into an SQL 2005 database or can I use it as follows? And how can I use this?This is the first time I do something like this so I am a little bit confused.Thanks,Miguel
