// There are ready-made methods for saving any component including all its children to a file. 
// For writing components use WriteComponentResFile(path + source filename , component name source) 

WriteComponentResFile('C:\imagelist1.bin',imagelist1);

 // For reading the data back to a component: 
// component := ReadComponentResFile(path + source filename , component name traget) 

imagelist1 := ReadComponentResFile('c:\imagelist1.bin', nil) as TImagelist;

 // Tip 1 - Reading the component will give the same name of the component written so don't try to 
// load it to another component, even if it was the same type. You will get a duplicate name and 
// delphi will crash. But you can jump over this as a programmer 

// Tip 2 - Get benfit of storing the heavy components inside compressed files, 
// so you can get smaller programs
