Saving User-Defined Types To File

I was wondering if there is a short-cut way to save user-defined objects to a file without having to create your own "Save" function or sub within the user-defined class. It would be great if I didn't have to break my objects back down to strings to save them, and then put them back together to load them from file.

You can define the user type in a module and import that module to any project you want. that's the easiets way.

In VB there is no magic method to save a class to a file.
I always use the method you describe by adding a ToString and FromString method to a class.
