I am saving and restoring value types such as Int32, DateTime and Boolean in
strings. I was wondering if there is a mechanism build into .NET for
serializing and deserializing these to string format. I can, of course,
serialize a class to a file, either binary or XML, but this is not what I am
looking for. Currently I am using ToString() or Convert.xxx to do this, but
thought that if there was a true serializer, deserializer, that would be
perfect.
An example would be the way that a DateTime column in a DataTable is
serialized to XML. It is converted to the format
"2004-04-30T19:30:00.000 0000-05:00". Microsoft has built a special DateTime
serializer into there XML converter to save (and restore) DateTime in a
string (for XML) format. This saves the time with maximum precision,
relative to MGT.
Can I access to class to do something similar?
Thanks for you Input

Hello
ToString will do the job. but just make sure you use the InvariantCultur e
when serializing and deserializing.

Sherif,
I am very familiar with ToString... but I am looking for a way to serialize
that this made for deserializing and restoring the original value (As in the
DateTime example) without losing any precision...
Anyone know about a class for this???

Hi,
I have a, probably very basic, query on value-types.
Why cannot I use the == operator directly for value-types (not primitive
types like int, float, double etc)? Why do I need to either have an implicit
operator (to type-cast to primitive type) or override/overlaod the ==
operator myself?
