file

I have a simple program where I would like to save an arraylist to a file, so that when the program is restarted, it loads from the file to the arraylist in memory.

Is this possible in C#? Or do I need to itterate over the arraylist countaining my custom classes and in someway print them out?

Any tips on a correct way to do this?
