write to a file (and read from it later) an array of structure (vb.net)

I have an array of structure like this:

Structure Planner
        Dim Type As String        
        Dim Circuit As String
        Dim Socket As String
        Dim StepCMDText As String
    End Structure

how do i write it into a file? (also read it later ..开发者_StackOverflow社区.)

thanks

You could use xml serialization that is available in VB.NET. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316730 for details.

You could write it as a csv file but simply iterating over a list and then separating each value by a comma otherwise you could serialise it and write that to a file.
