updating Editor Hierachy

i have a function in a script

Code (CSharp):

1.  public void SaveCharacter(){
2.         // check if character exists
3.         // if it does delete file
4.         // save new file
5.  
6.         BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
7.         FileStream file = File.Create(Application.dataPath + "/Resources/"+ firstname + Race + ".dat");
8.         RTSCharContainer charCont = new RTSCharContainer();
9. #region datainput
10.  
11.         charCont.Firstname = firstname;
12.         charCont.LastName = secondname;
13.  
14.         charCont.Race = _raceName;
15.         charCont.Bloodline = _bloodLine;
16.  
17.         charCont.Male = _male;
18.  
19. #endregion
20.  
21.         bf.Serialize(file,charCont);
22.         file.Close();
23.         UnityEditor.EditorApplication.RepaintHierarchyWindow();
24.     }

the purpose is to save a characters values to be loaded when needed;

the problem i have is that when i invoke this function nothing happens VISUALLY the hierachy is not changed however the file is saved so it works; yay!!

the only way i can see the file is if i bring a non unity window to the for ground: like internet explorer or chrome and then bring the unity editor to the for ground.

or if i minimize and maximize unity. i need to know the update function called on the unity editor when unity is minimized and maximized and how to invoke if.

is there a system update function called on windows applications?
thank you for your help.

 

So i solved it myself

i called

UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.Refresh();
