Thread: Reconstructing a vector saved in a binary file..

What do your employee objects look like data-members-wise? Unless they are strictly POD you are going to have issues writting/reading to/from a file like you are attempting.

Like this?

Code:

class employee
{
public:
	employee(std::string, float);
	const std::string& get_name();
	const float& get_payrate();
	const std::string& get_gender();
	const std::string& get_startdate();
	const std::string& get_enddate();

	void set_name(std::string);
	void set_payrate(float);
	void set_gender(std::string);
	void set_startdate(std::string);
	void set_enddate(std::string);
private:
	std::string name;
	float payrate;
	std::string gender;
	std::string startdate;
	std::string enddate;
	bool active;
};
