BinaryFormatter deserialize gives SerializationException

Question

I\'m getting an:

System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Unable to find assembly \'myNameSpace, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, Pub

Answer 1

I ran into a similar problem and I got it working with help of the following link: BinaryFormatterDeserialize-not-finding-a-type

Basically what you need to do is subscribe to the AssemblyResolve event BEFORE deserializing. Then unsubscribe after deserialization..

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve +=
                new ResolveEventHandler(CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve);
// CODE TO DESERIALIZE HERE

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve -= new ResolveEventHandler(CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve);

Here the method I used to resolve the Assembly:

static Assembly CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve(object sender, ResolveEventArgs args)
{
    try
    {
        if(args.Name == "MY ASSEMBLY NAME"))
        {
            //Load my Assembly 
            Assembly assem = Assembly.LoadFrom("MY ASSEMBLY PATH");
            if(assem != null)
                return assem;
        }
    }
    catch { ;}

    return Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
}
