Deserializing objects

[Shan1986]

Hi,

I have a class called "Project" i serialize project to xml with below code and works fine.

Public ProjectsList As New BindingList(Of Project)

Public Sub SerializeObj(obj As Object, ByVal path As String)

Dim xs As New System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(obj.GetType)
Dim w As New StreamWriter(path)
xs.Serialize(w, obj)

End Sub

and i initialize my application like this with bindingsource

BS_ProjectsList.DataSource = ProjectsList
DataGridView4.DataSource = BS_ProjectsList


After initialization i am trying to load serialized xml to ProjectsList like below

ProjectsList = deSerializeObj(ProjectsList, fPath)

Public Function deSerializeObj(obj As Object, ByVal path As String) As Object

Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream(path, FileMode.Open)
Dim xs As New XmlSerializer(obj.GetType)
obj = CType(xs.Deserialize(fs), Object)
fs.Close()
Return obj

End Function


It runs but my datagrid view does not show any object information it is just blank. but i could count the objects, what am i doing wrong?

If i do it like below it works but i want to know why the method above does not update the bindingsource?


Dim ss As New BindingList(Of Project)
ss = deSerializeObj(ProjectsList, fPath)

For Each project As Project In ss
ProjectsList.Add(project)
Next
thanks
