Type: System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationBinder

System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationBinder Class

Assembly: Mscorlib.dll
Namespace: System.Runtime.Serialization

Summary: Allows users to control class loading and mandate what class to load.

C# Syntax:

[Serializable]
public abstract class SerializationBinder

Remarks

During serialization, a formatter transmits the information required to create an instance of an object of the correct type and version. This information generally includes the full type name and assembly name of the object. The assembly name includes the name, version, and strong name (see the conceptual topic at MSDN: strong-namedassemblies) hash of the assembly. By default, deserialization uses this information to create an instance of an identical object (with the exception of any assembly loading restricted by the security policy). Some users need to control which class to load, either because the class has moved between assemblies or a different version of the class is required on the server and client.

This is an abstract base class. All binders extend this class.

Notes to inheritors: When you inherit from SerializationBinder, you must override the following member: SerializationBinder.BindToType.

System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationBinder Member List:

Public Methods

BindToType	When overridden in a derived class, controls the binding of a serialized object to a type.
Equals (inherited from System.Object)	See base class member description: System.Object.Equals Derived from System.Object, the primary base class for all objects.
GetHashCode (inherited from System.Object)	See base class member description: System.Object.GetHashCode Derived from System.Object, the primary base class for all objects.
GetType (inherited from System.Object)	See base class member description: System.Object.GetType Derived from System.Object, the primary base class for all objects.
ToString (inherited from System.Object)	See base class member description: System.Object.ToString Derived from System.Object, the primary base class for all objects.

Protected Constructors

ctor #1

Default constructor. This constructor is called by derived class constructors to initialize state in this type.

Protected Methods

Finalize (inherited from System.Object)	See base class member description: System.Object.Finalize Derived from System.Object, the primary base class for all objects.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from System.Object)	See base class member description: System.Object.MemberwiseClone Derived from System.Object, the primary base class for all objects.

ctor #1

Summary:: Default constructor. This constructor is called by derived class constructors to initialize state in this type.

C# Syntax:


            protected SerializationBinder();

Return to top

Method: BindToType(
string assemblyName,
string typeName
)

Summary: When overridden in a derived class, controls the binding of a serialized object to a type.

C# Syntax:


            public abstract Type BindToType(
   string assemblyName,
   string typeName
);

Parameters:

assemblyName

Specifies the Assembly name of the serialized object.

typeName

Specifies the Type name of the serialized object.

Return Value:: The type of the object the formatter creates a new instance of.

Remarks

Notes to inheritors: You must implement the current method in a derived class.
