Re: Casting question (creating things on the fly)

Hi Paul:

What you can do is deserialize a object from a previously XML  
serialized object, something like:

  http://www.devhood.com/tutorials/tutorial_details.aspx?tutorial_id=236

When you serialize a object to a XML file, you are saving the "string"  
representation of the object state at a given time, fron there you can  
rebuild the object when you want from the stored info on the XML..

To find more usefull info about it, use "C# XML Serialization" on Mr.  
Google :-)

Hope that it helps and if is like the thing that you are looking for

Cheers!

Mauricio
