Gillard,

I have looked at your code before, and did not understand like Patrice what
you wanted to serialize.

Now I look again I get the idea that you want to serialize an already
serialized file.

Here is a link to our pages where you see a simple sample how easy
serializing is.

http://www.vb-tips.com/SerializeArrayList.aspx

However like Patrice wrote as well to serialize something the class (type)
needs the attribute that it is serializable.

A lot of .Net classes are marked as not serializable.

As this sample does not solve your problem, then try to bring your problem
back to the essention, as that does not help you then rephrase your problem
here.
