Kirsten Isn't this the straightforward binary serialization /deserialization for EF - eg MSDN
How to: Serialize and Deserialize Objects (Entity Framework) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738528(v=vs.90).aspx (3.5 Framework - binary, XML, WCF contracts) Using only these namespaces: System.IO, System.Runtime.Serialization, System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary Seems to be a fairly basic code examples there for both serialize / deserialize _____ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kirsten Greed Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2012 9:57 AM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: copying property values into a serializable object Hi All I have some name-value pairs that I want to use to set values in my serializable object ( created from Entity Framework ) What would be the best way? I have been trying using the System.Runtime.Serialization functions, but I can't figure out how to get the serialization info into a stream Am I on the right track? System.Runtime.Serialization.FormatterConverter fc = new System.Runtime.Serialization.FormatterConverter(); SerializationInfo inf = new SerializationInfo (typeof(Organisation),fc); foreach ( ChangeValue cv in op.ChangeValues) { inf.AddValue(cv.PropertyName, cv.Value); } Thanks Kirsten
