BinaryFormatter .Deserialize

Hi.

While executing BinaryFormatter .Deserialize() I get:
System.InvalidC astException: Specified cast is not valid.
I implemented ISerializable interface. What may be a problem?

Thanks.

application = (ApplicationInf o)formatter.Des erialize((Strea m)e.getDocument );

What tells splitting the above compound statement into a sequence of simple
statements you? What part gives the error? What are the actual types
involved? Make sure you indeed get back what you expect, show us the
splitted version and the real types involved. Sofar I see nothing wrong but
you have an error that pops up in the above line so there must be some
mismatch...

object obj = formatter.Deser ialize((MemoryS tream)e.getDocu ment);

ApplicationInfo .ApplicationInf o application = (ApplicationInf o.ApplicationIn fo)obj;

I get that exception in second row.

In both applications, sender and receiver class defined:
namespace ApplicationInfo

{

[Serializable()]

public class ApplicationInfo :IDisposable

{

}
}

Hi everybody, In my application, I'm planning to use BinaryFormatter to serialize a potentially huge object to file (and, of course, deserialize back to memory later). My question is if there is any hard limit on the size of this object? Is it only limited by the amount of memory or hard-disk space in the server?

Hi All, I have an annoying trouble with binary serialization. I have a windows forms application which works like a server and keeps sending data to its clients. The data is serialized before being sent using BinaryFormatter and a serializable object. When using a windows forms application as a client, everything works just fine and deserialized data can be received intact. When the client application is is embedded in Internet Explorer (I...

Hi All, Reference to the problem I posted with subject "BinaryFormatter.Deserialize fails when used with .net ActiveX". I could successfully solve the problem by creating a class inherited from SerializationBinder and setting the Binder property of the BinaryFormatter to an instance of that class. The code used was just one line to return the type used to serialize data. I got this information by help of the following Url: ...

I'm getting a very weird exception and hoping someone may be able to help. I have an Office Add-In that lives in a .dll (for email reference ai.dll) ai.dll makes calls into the core part of the application implementation in another .dll (let's call that app.dll). app.dll makes a function call into another dll (let's call that one dep.dll). dep.dll has some code in it where it deserializes a memorystream using a binaryformatter.

Hi all, I have seen a number of posts re: the BinaryFormatter version incompatibility but nothing on how to recover from it. In my case, I want the exception to trigger an alternate behaviour and continue process the stream. My app reads and writes configuration settings to a binary file upon starting and shutdown. The settings are stored in various objects that are serialized and deserialized using a BinaryFormatter. When reading...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
