Hey,<br><br>&nbsp; I have a class with a few data members that is serializable. Note that, I already have an archive ( test.txt ). Now, I want to serialize a couple more members. I went ahead and added the new members to my serialize functions. When I read from the archive ( 
test.txt ) , I get an exception. This is understandable, because the archive doesn&#39;t have the new members that I&#39;m trying to read out. 
<br><br>&nbsp; My question is, is there a way to check for the existence of a member before deserializing an object from the archive ? <br><br>Thanks in advance, <br>Sandeep. <br>
