Using MFC's serialization techinique, we store to a class called
CArchive - I'm wondering if it's possible to store to some binary block
instead because I need to serialize the contents of my struct into a
stream of bytes to insert into another 3rd party file?

The link I provided earlier shows how to serialize any data. As long as
3rd party provides access to the stream, you should be fine. Do these
guys give you a CArchive object to which you want to serialize your
struct.

Hi Ajay,

No they dont give access to a CArchive - all they give you is this
function:

SetData(const char *pszData);

I guess they just want me to serialize it as text :(. I can't figure
out how it would be possible to make CArchive usable with that!
