How to serialize and object to use as a parameter in a URL?


Hi,

I need to serialize an object in such a way that it can be passed as
parameter in a URL

http://www.domain.com?object=%d793btng....

I did some reading and I came to the conclusion that I need to create a
custom formatter and implements the IFormatter interface

the problem is that I don't quit know how to implements the
IFormatter.Seri alize function

1.How do I get the attribute of each property?

2.How can i get all properties,i guess I need to use reflection?

2.How do I track the object which already Serialized(assu ming the object
contains other objects)

Note that I cannot use binary formatter or other,since the code which do the
deserialization is a client side java script

thanks in advance.

Hi Julia:

Reflection would allow you to step through the public properties of
any object. The PropertyInfo class in the System.Reflecti on namespace
is pretty useful for getting the values of all properties:

PropertyInfo[] info = Type.GetType("S ystem.Type").Ge tProperties();

Then use GetValue on each PropertyInfo to return the value of each
property as an object..

HTH,

Additionally, you would have to encode the output to account for
characters that are not allowed.

Personally, I would choose to use the SOAP formatter and then use a POST
to post the contents to the server. The output of any object being
serialized is quite lengthy, and not suited for placement in a URL.

Hope this helps.

I am using Base64 to encode the output.
Thanks.
