How do i convert an object to xml data?
I think of using a TRemotable descendant, but i do not understand on how to use the ObjectToSoap function. I think i should use it together with TXmlDocument, but how? Or am i going the hard way? I do not want to use third party components as i want to use turbo delphi.

Also i could use some info serializing objects in delphi e.g. how do i write my own serializing function? E.g. serialize to xml or even fancier to an sql query.... but first i need to learn the basics.... any tutorials on this topic?

Thanks in advance.

The RTTI is able to serialize components, unfortunately not to XML. But to binary dfm and text dfm. And text dfm is a usable format, I'd think.

You only need to derive your classes from TComponent and pack everything you want to have saved into published properties.

You can then do it like this:



This works in principle, but I myself am currently fighting with it and just can't get it to work. However, I have a rather complicated structure.

Using google again i found: http://www.delphipages.com/threads/thre ... 4&G=116542 this seems to do what i want, all i have to learn it is object inside object and list and arrays.
