Introducing Object Serialization
Apress eBooks · 2008
In Chapter 20, you learned about the functionality provided by the System.IO namespace. As shown, this namespace provides numerous reader/writer types that can be used to persist data to a given location (in a given format). This chapter examines the related topic of object serialization . Using object serialization, you are able to persist and retrieve the state of an object to (or from) any System.IO.Stream-derived type. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
