5.10 Serialization
The FCL includes support for
serializing arbitrary object graphs to and
from a stream. This serialization can store and transmit complex data
structures via files or the network. The default serializers provide
binary and XML-based formatting but can be extended with user-defined
formatters.
For more information, see the following namespaces:
System.Runtime.Serialization
System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters
System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary
System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap
Important related types in other namespaces include
System.NonSerializedAttribute and
System.SerializableAttribute.
