Hello i using Blitz3D for more then a year now. a first i was avoiding using types becaus they where hard to understand. Now i start understanding them and use them. For the most part everyting is working fine if i am using a type. But:

I am trying to save and load data from a type to a file.
Writing to a file works fine but when i want to load the file back it won't work.

here a exampple of source code i tested.
Type WorkMenuType
	Field ID
	Field Naam$
	Field LinkID
	Field XPos
	Field YPos
	Field Width
	Field Height
End Type



Dim WorkMenu.WorkMenuType (100)

For x = 0 To 100
	WorkMenu(x) = New WorkMenuType 
Next

If FileType ("MyTest.typ") = 1
	DeleteFile "MuTest.typ"
EndIf

outfile = WriteFile ("MyTest.typ")
For x = 0 To 100
	WriteString Outfile,Str(WorkMenu (x))
Next

CloseFile outfile

; All the above is working fine. when adding below an error comes up.

infile = ReadFile ("MyTest.typ")
For x = 0 To 100
	WorkMenu(x) = ReadString (Infile)
Next
CloseFile infile


Its generate a error "ILLIGAL TYPE CONVERSION"
If i leave the part of reading the file away. The program is running and saving the data fine.
why can i write to a file but not read the same way?
