.NET serialization specification

Is there an official specification for .NET serialization? I've looked at
the .NET framework docs and read Jeffrey Richter's MSDN articles, but I'm
looking for something more complete, corresponding to the specification of
Java serialization found at
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2...alTOC.doc.html

Hi Mike --

I've never found an "official" specification, but there's a pretty good
detailed description in the book Microsoft .NET Remoting, by Scott McLean,
James Naftel, and Kim Williams (Microsoft Press). There's also a
specification published by the Mono folks, but I can't vouch for its
accuracy as a description of Microsoft binary serialization:

Thanks, Wayne, I'll have a look.

Oh, and if anyone at Microsoft is listening, have a look at the Java link.
A company that's serious about attracting enterprise developers makes
information like this available.

I have an object graph I want to persist using the XML serialization features of the .NET framework. The interface/class hierarchy of my business model resembles the following...

Hi, I'm not sure that if this is the right forum, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I am porting some java serialization code to c# and I can't figure out the correct way to do it. It seems that either I can use default serialization or implement ISerializable. Is there any way to do both (e.g. extend the default serialization). In other words, I want to be able to implement my custom serialization code but call the...

Hi, Not 100% sure if this is the correct group to post in but. I have a class that I want to serialize/deserialize to match the MM7 specifications, which I have done but now that we are starting to connect to a few different people we have realised that there are multiple versions of the specification and each one has been defined in a different namespace, now the actual xml is the same between the versions

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
