Re: Serialization

New Message on dotNET User Group Hyd Serialization Reply   Recommend Message 2 in Discussion From: sistlavenkat The Common Language Runtime (CLR) understands very well how objects are laid out in memory. When an object is serialized, the name of the class, the assembly, and all the data members of the class instance are written to storage. When the serialized class is deserialized, the class is recreated and the values of all the data members are automatically restored. Having said, let me add one point here that, Objects are only valid in the application domain where they are created. If you want to pass objects across two application domains, then you have to do a MarshalByRefObject or Serializable, latter refering to passing the Object references and not object value itself. Since serialization is a stream of data, and without a deserializer, it would not solve purpose. And when you serialize it, CLR writes stream of data using reflection, and the stream is recognizabile only again by proper deserializer, which will have underlying method calls/object references.
