interface ISerializable in Tinman.Core.IO.Serialization

A class that supports serialization must implement this interface.

interface	ISerializable	base of	IColorRamp
			ICurve
			IDatumTransform
			IDocumentNode
			IGeoObject
			IGeoRegistry
			IHeightmapFormat
			INoiseFunctionBase
			IRasterTransform
			IShape
			JsonValue
			SerializableBase
			SerializableDisposableBase

Remarks

Every solid (i.e. non-abstract) class that implements the ISerializable interface must provide a public default constructor.

Attributes

SerialType

Returns the serial type of this object.

property	SerialType { get }
type	ISerialTypeInfo
value	[not-null]	The serial type.

SerialVersion

Returns the serial data version.

property	SerialVersion { get }
type	int32
value	[>=1]	The serial data version tag.

Remarks:

An ISerializable implementation is required to support all versions up to the one returned by SerialVersion.

Methods

Deserialize

Initializes the state of this object from the given data stream.

method	Deserialize (int32 serialVersion, ISerializer data)
type	ISerializable
params	serialVersion	[>=1]	The serial data version.
	data	[not-null]	The serial data stream.
returns		[not-null]	The deserialized object. This will typically be this, but in some circumstances, another instance may be returned (e.g. singletons).

Remarks:

The Deserialize method will be called immediately after the object has been instantiated via its default constructor.

The provided serialVersion number is guaranteed to be equal to or less than the SerialVersion returned by this object (i.e. ISerializable object must provide backwards compatibility).

Serialize

Serializes the current state of this object to the given data stream.

method	Serialize (ISerializer data)
params	data	[not-null]	The serial data stream.
