class SerializableDisposableBase in Tinman.Core.IO.Serialization

Abstract base class for classes that implement IDisposable as well as ISerializable.

abstract class SerializableDisposableBase extends Disposable
  implements ISerializable

Public / Attributes

LifecycleState

Returns the lifecycle state of this object.

public virtual property LifecycleState { get }
type LifecycleState
value The lifecycle state.
inherited Disposable.LifecycleState

SerialType

Returns the serial type of this object.

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

SerialVersion

Returns the serial data version.

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

Remarks:

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

ISerializable.Deserialize

Public / Methods

AcquireTry

Acquires a strong reference to this disposable object.

[OwnerReturn, ThreadSafe]
public method AcquireTry ()
type IDisposable
returns this if a new strong reference has been acquired, null if this object is already being disposed.
inherited Disposable.AcquireTry

Remarks:

The object will not be actually disposed by calls to Dispose when there is at least one strong reference left. Code that calls the AcquireTry method is responsible for calling the Dispose method accordingly.

This method is not intended to be used in performance-critical code. It should only be used to high-level resource management.

Deserialize

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

public virtual 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).
implements ISerializable.Deserialize

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).

ISerializable.Serialize
ISerializable.SerialVersion

Dispose

Releases all resources held by this object if there are no more strong references to it, decrements the reference counter by one otherwise.

[Dispose, OwnerThis, ThreadSafe]
public method Dispose ()
inherited Disposable.Dispose

Remarks:

The Dispose method silently returns if the object has already been disposed.

Serialize

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

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

See also:

ISerializable.Deserialize
ISerializable.SerialVersion

Protected / Constructors

SerializableDisposableBase

Creates a new instance of SerializableDisposableBase.

protected constructor SerializableDisposableBase (ISerialTypeInfo serialType)
params serialType [not-null] The serial type ID.

Protected / Methods

DisposeManaged

Disposes the managed resources held by a concrete subclass. This method will be called at most once per subclass.

protected override method DisposeManaged ()
overrides Disposable.DisposeManaged

Remarks:

This method will only be called when a disposable object is explicitly destroyed by user code calling the Dispose method. It will not be called when the object is collected as garbage by the system.

Overriding methods must call the DisposeManaged method of their base class. The base call should be the last statement.

The DisposeManaged method is called before the DisposeUnmanaged method.

DisposeUnmanaged

Disposes the unmanaged resources held by a concrete subclass. This method will be called exactly once per subclass.

protected virtual method DisposeUnmanaged ()
inherited Disposable.DisposeUnmanaged

Remarks:

Overriding methods must call the DisposeUnmanaged method of their base class. The base call should be the last statement.

The DisposeUnmanaged method is called after the DisposeManaged method.
