17.4 How to program C#, 6th edition, dietel. When I use SerializeFile in my code, it causes in error. How do I fix 17.4?

Answer 1

Try using this both namespaces :

using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;

For sample demo:

 Student obj = new Student();
    obj.ID = 009;
    obj.Name = "Nayan";

Create a formatter object from the binary fomratter class like this:

  IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();

Set up a stream of a text file like this:
    Stream stream = new FileStream(@"F:\Example.txt",FileMode.Create,FileAccess.Write);

Pass the stream and object to be serialize to the formatter:

    formatter.Serialize(stream, obj);

Then you can de serialize by using the :

Student newObject = (Student)formatter.Deserialize(stream);

Now the same state of the object is deserialized.
