binaryformatter

Background I have an object which I need to serialize in order to transfer to a high performance computing cluster for later use Previously, I've used the out-of-the-box binary formatter for my object which represents a statistical shape model and all worked happily My object became more complex and I decided to customize the serialization process by implementing ISerializable. I continue to support data stored in the previous format The Problem My problem is that one particular value appears to serialize successfully, but always has a value of null when I attempt deserialization. (no error,

I'm looking for advice on serialization in a .net app. The app is a desktop/thick client app and the serialization represents the persisted document format. The requirements for the serializer is Must allow serializing fields, not public properties only. Must not require parameterless constructors. Must handle general object graphs, i.e. not only DAG but shared/bidirectional references. Must work with framework classes (e.g. Serialize Dictionaries). Currently we use the BinaryFormatter which handles all of the above quite well, but size/performance and version tolerance is an issue. We use the

I read very often that the BinaryFormatter has better performance then XmlSerializer. Out of curiosity, I wrote a test-app. a wtf moment... why is Xml so much faster than Bin (especially the deserialization)? using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Runtime.Serialization; using System.Xml.Serialization; using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary; using System.IO; namespace SerPlayground { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var items = new List<TestClass>(); for (int i = 0; i < 1E6; i++) { items.Add(new TestClass() { Name = i.ToString(), Id = i }); }

According to the List of .NET CoreFx APIs and their associated .NET Platform Standard version , System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters is added into to the .NET Platform Standard since 1.3, which is cool, but when I try to create a .Net Core class library targeting netstandard1.5 under.Net Core RC2, I can't use it. The code is simple, just intending to declare a BinaryFormatter: public class Problems { private System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter _formatter; } Error is : Error CS0234 The type or namespace name 'Serialization' does not exist in the namespace 'System

I am attempting to serialize an object graph in .NET with the following method: public static byte[] Serialize(object data) { var binary = new BinaryFormatter(); using (var ms = new MemoryStream()) { binary.Serialize(ms, data); return ms.ToArray(); } } However, I am running into the following error: FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
