But you won't use the framework's default File Open/Save document serialization.
 
 To support the Open, Save, and Save As commands on the File menu, the framework provides document serialization. Serialization reads and writes data, including objects derived from class `CObject`, to permanent storage, normally a disk file. Serialization is easy to use and serves many of your needs, but it may be inappropriate in many data-access applications. Data-access applications typically update data on a per-transaction basis. They update the records affected by the transaction rather than reading and writing a whole data file at once.
