Treenode Copy To and Paste From Clipboard

See more:

C#

Hi altogether,

I am frustrated...

I am copying a derived treenode to clipboard in this way:

Clipboard.SetData("MyNode", Serialize(currentNode));

And I am trying to get it by:

MyNode Node = (MyNode)DeSerialize(Clipboard.GetData("MyNode", ToString());

OPCNode is a derived class of TreeNode.

Serialize and Deserialize are functions like:

private string Serialize(object objectToSerialize)
{
    string serialString = null;
    using (System.IO.MemoryStream ms1 = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
    {
        BinaryFormatter b = new BinaryFormatter();
        b.Serialize(ms1, objectToSerialize);
        byte[] arrayByte = ms1.ToArray();
        serialString = Convert.ToBase64String(arrayByte);
    }
    return serialString;
}

private object DeSerialize(string serializationString)
{
    object deserialObject = null;
    byte[] arrayByte = Convert.FromBase64String(serializationString);
    using (System.IO.MemoryStream ms1 = new System.IO.MemoryStream(arrayByte))
    {
        BinaryFormatter b = new BinaryFormatter();
        deserialObject = b.Deserialize(ms1);
    }
    return deserialObject;
}

The result is that I only get the "Node.Text" in a correct way.

"Node.ImageIndex" and all the members of MyNode are lost.

Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot in advance.
