Initializing Serializer (Simple)
How to Serialize an Object (Simple)

Now it is time to deserialize

in previous section we have serialized object in Main.txt now we deserialize object from File

You Must use same compiler Info for deserialization

You must create Text Reader and State Reader

            Dim txt = File.ReadAllText("Main.txt")
            Using sr As New StringReader(txt), sd As New StateReader(s)
                Dim obj = sd.ReadState(sr)
            End Using

The full source is following
In a console Application

Imports StateScript
Imports System.IO
Public Class ToBeTester
    Public Field1 = "String1"
    Public Field2 = "String2"
    Public Property Prop1 = 999
    Public Num = Me
End Class
Public Module Main
    Sub Main()
        Dim s As New CompilerInfo
        'Add Providers which serialize specified types
        s.AddProviders({New BooleanTypeProvider,
                        New ValueTypesProvider,
                        New StringTypeProvider,
                        New CollectionTypesProvider,
                        New ObjectTypeProvider})
        s.Collection = ","      'The Char to separate collection items from each other
        s.EndBlock = ")"        'The Char to identify the end of a block
        s.StartBlock = "("      'The Char to Identify the start of a block
        s.VariableName = "$"    'The char after which variable(field) Name is written
        s.VariableValue = ">"   'The Char after which value of variable(field) is written

        Using sw As New StringWriter, sx As New StateWriter(s)
            sx.WriteState(New ToBeTester, sw)
            File.WriteAllText("Main.txt", sw.ToString)
            Dim txt = File.ReadAllText("Main.txt")
            Using sr As New StringReader(txt), sd As New StateReader(s)
                Dim obj = sd.ReadState(sr)
            End Using
        End Using
    End Sub
End Module
