SerializationTypeId

The type id of SerializationType. Used internally to avoid dealing with strings.

public ObjectId SerializationTypeId

Field Value

ObjectId

Properties

IsBlittable

public abstract bool IsBlittable { get; }

Property Value

bool

SerializationType

The type of the object that can be serialized or deserialized.

public abstract Type SerializationType { get; }

Methods

Initialize(SerializerSelector)

Initializes the specified serializer.

public virtual void Initialize(SerializerSelector serializerSelector)

Parameters

serializerSelector SerializerSelector

The serializer.

Remarks

This method should be thread-safe and OK to call multiple times.

PreSerialize(ref object, ArchiveMode, SerializationStream)

Performs the first step of serialization or deserialization.

public abstract void PreSerialize(ref object obj, ArchiveMode mode, SerializationStream stream)

Parameters

obj object

The object to process.

mode ArchiveMode

The serialization mode.

stream SerializationStream

The stream to serialize or deserialize to.

Remarks

Typically, it will instantiate the object if [null], and if it's a collection clear it.

Serializes or deserializes the given object obj.

Parameters

obj object

The serialization mode.
