SerializeStatus Enum

Summary

Specifies the serialization status of an object.

Members

Normal 0

Serialized 1

Deserialized 2

Syntax

public enum SerializeStatus

public enum SerializeStatus : System.Enum

Remarks

The SerializeStatus enumeration is used by the OnDeserializedAttribute and OnSerializingAttribute attributes to specify when a method should be called during the serialization or deserialization process.

The OnDeserializedAttribute attribute marks a method that is called after deserialization is complete. The OnSerializingAttribute attribute marks a method that is called before serialization begins.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use the SerializeStatus enumeration with the OnSerializingAttribute.


using System;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;

[Serializable]
public class MyClass
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [OnSerializing]
    internal void OnSerializingMethod(StreamingContext context)
    {
        // This method will be called before serialization.
        // The context can contain information about the serialization process.
        Console.WriteLine("Serializing object...");
    }

    [OnDeserialized]
    internal void OnDeserializedMethod(StreamingContext context)
    {
        // This method will be called after deserialization.
        Console.WriteLine("Deserialized object.");
    }
}

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        MyClass obj = new MyClass { Name = "Example" };

        // This would trigger the OnSerializingMethod
        // var formatter = new System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter();
        // using (var stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
        // {
        //     formatter.Serialize(stream, obj);
        // }

        // This would trigger the OnDeserializedMethod
        // MyClass deserializedObj = (MyClass)formatter.Deserialize(stream);
    }
}
