How do I make a file?

[Zorkinian]

With the advent of .15 and the IO namespace forbidden... how do you write to a file? I have a Dictionary<string, int> that\'d I\'d like to write to and read from, but I can\'t figure out how to do it with the new API.

In the past I used a BinaryFormatter to serialize it to a file, but that requires streams from System.IO. Is there a drop-in replacement, or will I need to do something else?

Look at the unofficial Wiki (sry. no link here). There seems to be a replacement for BinaryFormatter in KSP.IO, but I don\'t really know about the whole file thing.

Yeah, I read through the wiki, but still don\'t understand what steps I need to take.

Anybody have advice?

You can serialize it using IOTools and then write it to disk with File.WriteAllBytes.

byte[] buffer = IOTools.SerializeToBinary(dictionary);
File.WriteAllBytes<SomeClassInYourPlugin>(buffer,'filename.bin');

The serialize/deserialize methods in IOTools use BinaryFormatter.
