I've a class to serialize. I've done the basic things for
serialization

class EmployeeInfo : public CObject
{
public:
        DECLARE_SERIAL(EmployeeInfo)

        CString m_csName;
        CString m_csDesignation;
        int m_nEmpID;
        int m_nAge;
        int m_nSalary;
        Sex m_eGender;
        virtual void Serialize( CArchive& ar );
public:
        EmployeeInfo(void);
        ~EmployeeInfo(void);
        EmployeeInfo& operator =(const EmployeeInfo & empInfo_i =

);

};

Now I am using a CArray<EmployeeInfo> m_EmpInfo;

CFile file( "EmployeeInfo.bin", CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite |
CFile::typeBinary );
CArchive ar( &file, CArchive::store );
m_EmployeeInfoArr.Serialize( ar );

This is the way I am serializing the objects. But the
EmployeeInfo::Serialize is not getting called at the time of
serializing the objects. What could be the problem?

I also tried to override SerializeElements functions globally defined
as follows

template<> void AFXAPI SerializeElements(CArchive& ar, EmployeeInfo*
pElements, INT_PTR nCount)

But its not working. Link error occurs.

I managed to work it out. It was the problem with template function
generation. I should have declare it before declaring
CArray<EmployeeInfo> m_EmpInfo;
