Re: Am I barking up the wrong CObArray

I want an object of array of object arrays. Seems reasonable enough to
me. In my mind I have a network of nodes (m_oaNodes). I see this as a
CObArray of node objects. I want each node object to contain a
CObArray of objects containing information about nodes it connects to
(m_oaSubNodes). Here is the AddNewRecord function from the document
class:-

I am using CObArray because the chapter on Serialization in Chapman's
book 'Learn Visual C++ 6 in 21 Days' uses CObArrays. Is it a
prerequisite of serialization to use CObArrays?

[code]

CNode * CFTreeBrowserDoc::AddNewRecord()
{
   // Create a new CNode object
   CNode *pNode = new CNode();
   try
   {
       // Add the new node to the object array
m_oaNodes.Add((CObject *)pNode);
       // Mark the document as dirty
       SetModifiedFlag();
       // Set the new position mark
       m_iCurPosition = (m_oaNodes.GetSize() - 1);
   }
   // Did we run into a memory exception?
   catch (CMemoryException* perr)
   {
       // Display a message for the user, giving them the
       // bad news
       AfxMessageBox("Out of memory", MB_ICONSTOP | MB_OK);
       // Did we create a node object?
       if (pNode)
       {
           // Delete it
           delete pNode;
           pNode = NULL;
       }
       // Delete the exception object
       perr->Delete();
   }
   return pNode;

}

[/code]

and here is the constructor and the destructor from my node class...

[code]

CNode::CNode()
{

m_strNodDescr = "";
m_iCurPosition = 0;

   // Create a new CSubNode object
   CSubNode *pSubNode = new CSubNode();
   try
   {
       // Add the new subnode to the object array
m_oaSubNodes.Add((CObject *)pSubNode);
       // // Mark the document as dirty
       // SetModifiedFlag();
       // Set the new position mark
       m_iCurPosition = (m_oaSubNodes.GetSize() - 1);
   }

}

CNode::~CNode()
{

}
[/code]

And this is what Mr. Compiler says:
