Basically i'm trying to serialize a dictionary<string, string> object into a file, and load it back later. I know I'm probably doing something wrong here. (and yes this is an irc bot). The issue is that the full contents of the dictionary isn't saving to the file and in my debug window i'm getting the "didn't save" text which means It probably hasn't.
It also crashes sometimes (leaves chat then returns)
That's all I can really say on the matter.. if there's something I"m doing wrong i think it's probably to do with my nested statements or a file handler not being dealt with in the correct manner.
I do have two parent functions, save and load, but the compiler doesn't like me calling them from within the IRCBOT CLASS
