serialization - Deserialization example

public class MySampleClass

{

//class fields

public string mystring = "Hello World";

public int myint = 1234;

public string[] mystrarray = new string[4];

private int myprivateint = 4321;

//public property

private string _mynameproperty;

public string MyNameProperty

{

get { return _mynameproperty; }

set { _mynameproperty = value; }

}

//constructor

public MySampleClass()

{ }

//public method

public string MyMethod()

//Serialization exmaple

//serialization is the process of saving class member data into XML

//only public properties and fields can be serialized

MySampleClass objmysampleClass = new MySampleClass();

objmysampleClass.MyNameProperty = "This is Prashant Rathod";

objmysampleClass.mystrarray[0] = "adfsasf";

objmysampleClass.mystrarray[1] = "546345";

objmysampleClass.mystrarray[2] = "uoafas";

objmysampleClass.mystrarray[3] = "34672";

XmlSerializer myxmlserializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MySampleClass));

StreamWriter mystreamwriter = new StreamWriter(@"c:\MysampleSerializeXMLfile.xml");

myxmlserializer.Serialize(mystreamwriter, objmysampleClass);

mystreamwriter.Close();

//Deserialization is the reverse process – loading class member data from an XML document

MySampleClass objfromXMLfile = new MySampleClass();

XmlSerializer myserializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MySampleClass));

FileStream filestream = new FileStream(@"c:\MysampleSerializeXMLfile.xml", FileMode.Open);

objfromXMLfile = (MySampleClass)myserializer.Deserialize(filestream);

Console.WriteLine(objfromXMLfile.mystring);

Console.WriteLine(objfromXMLfile.MyNameProperty);

Console.WriteLine(objfromXMLfile.myint);

Console.WriteLine(objfromXMLfile.mystrarray);
