Hi,At> ar << d1;> ar >> bp; // but "bp" points already to an object of type D1I meant : "bp" is "Base* bp"So, if I call ar >> *bp; the Base::load will be called, not the derived D1:load.Actually more precisely, I intend to do solass Base { ... virtual .. } class D1 : public Base { } Base* bp1 = new D1(..some thing..); Base* bp2 = new D1(..some thing else..); ar << *bp1; ar >> *bp2; This means for all my serializable classes I have a kind of "=" operator defined. regards, Andrei _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.
