POS 408 Assignment Week 5 Learning Team: Learn How to Save Objects to a File

You and your team of software developers are experiencing problems saving the state of a program between different times that the program is run.

An object oriented program state can be maintained by saving the state of the objects in the program. Also, you can transfer the state of an object between different computer systems by creating the object based on the state once it is saved onto that other computer. In order to provide a way to persist object state, you must serialize objects in C#.

As a team of software developers and using the classes created in the Week Four Learning Team Collaborative Activity, “Learn How to Apply Inheritance Using Class Hierarchies,” serialize the objects of the classes from that activity to a file as a Visual Studio® solution.

Zip your Visual Studio® solution project folder so it can be submitted for grading. In Visual Studio®, you can locate the folder with your solution by left clicking on the solution node in the Solution Explorer. Look at the Properties window to find the folder name in the Path property. Locate this folder in File Explorer and zip the folder.

Submit your ZIP file using the Assignment Files tab.
