VirtualTable looks very exciting.

I have been looking for a memory dataset that I could save to file in a win32 system and load from file in a linux64 system.

Can virtual table handle that?

ie. It needs to save to a format that does not depend on "sizeof".

An XML format would be perfect.

Hello,

You can use methods SaveToFile and LoadFromFile for data loading and saving in VirtualTable on all the supported platforms. Data will be saved as binaries. To save to XML, you can use the SaveToXML method (loading from XML is not supported).

That is a bugger that LoadFromXML is not supported, it seems logical to me that if you save to XML you should also load from XML. Binary format is CPU dependent as it uses (sizeof(integer/char/etc..)) to determine the width of an element and that will be different in different systems,( win32/linux64). So for me the only logical solution is using LoadFroMXML, do you know if LoadfromXML might be supported in the future?

Sorry for inaccuracy. You can load data from the XML format (saved with the SaveToXML method) with the LoadFromFile method (having specified the generated XML file as a parameter)
