c# - Deserialization Error: InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type -

i have problem , i'm not sure how solve it... tried plenty of things , can't find similar online help.

note: scene uses script saving , using same .dat file, not sure if that's issue though.

public gameobject[] top10 = new gameobject[10];  [system.serializable] public class scoreentry {     public string name;      public int score; }  // use initialization void start () {     if (file.exists(application.persistentdatapath + "/hiscores.dat"))     {         binaryformatter b = new binaryformatter();         var f = file.open(application.persistentdatapath + "/hiscores.dat", filemode.open);          list<scoreentry> hiscores = (list<scoreentry>)b.deserialize(f);         f.close();          (int = 0; == hiscores.count; i++)             top10[i].getcomponent<textmesh>().text += hiscores[i].name + " - " + hiscores[i].score;     } }  // update called once per frame void update () {  } 

it looks scoreentry class using fields, not properties. believe serializer/deserializer requires properties. try this:

[system.serializable] public class scoreentry {     public string name {get;set;}      public int score {get;set;} }
