Wow thanks for the useless reply, before throwing links at me read them first. My question was how can i deserialize a BaseDoor i mean something like:

m_Target = reader.ReadBaseDoor();

I don't think you need to declare it a BaseDoor on serialization, try just serializing/deserializing it as an item, that should do the trick (although I am not sure on this so proceed with caution). If you look at the BaseCamp.cs script it uses a Item list to serialize doors for the banker camp, so Im assuming if you serialize a functional door as an item it will load as a functional door (seeing as the camps do). Again just an assumption, I have no hard proof on this.

Errors:
+ Customs/SecretStatue.cs:
CS0266: Line 66: Cannot implicitly convert type 'Server.Item' to 'Server.Ite
ms.BaseDoor'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

It would help to know more about the script, and why it's serializing a door. Are you willing to show the project, or atleast explain it? Is it an addon?

Its a secret statue, its an item which when double clicked opens a door, the door is set trough [props

	public class SecretStatue : Item
	{
		private BaseDoor m_Target;

		[CommandProperty( AccessLevel.GameMaster )]
		public BaseDoor Target
		{
			get
			{
				return m_Target;
			}
			set
			{
				m_Target = value;
			}
		}

m_Target is the variable which holds the BaseDoor which is going to open on double click, but after every server shutdown-start m_Target doesn't get saved.

writer.Write( m_Target );
...
m_Target = (BaseDoor)reader.ReadItem();

What soteric said should do the trick, I was to slow in responding. Read it back in as an item then cast it to a door.
