I need to maintain certain data structure, shared by all instances of
a class, declared as [Serializable]. This data structure must change
whenever a new object is created or an existing object is destroyed.
So I declared a static field with [NonSerialized()] attribute.
Now I need to add some code into all places where objects are created
and destroyed. This class has 2 ctors: one default, and another taking
parameters. I've found out, to my surprise, that new instances are
created without the use of these 2 ctors (how?).
My question: where should I put my code that tracks object creation
and destruction for these serializable objects?

Maybe you should have a "Data Structure" type class to which you add
multiple instances of your other class, adding/removing/reordering items in
the list changes the data structure.

Well, I would have said the constructor. I'm puzzled by your description,
as my experience with the basic serialization API in .NET is that it
requires a default constructor to deserialize objects, and that
constructor is in fact called when an object is deserialized.
You seem to be having the opposite experience. It would probably be
helpful if you would post a concise-but-complete code sample that
demonstrates the problem.

If I were creating all this from scratch, I'd have done so.
But I've got quite a lot of existing code that uses these serializable
objects directly, so I want to keep the changes to a minimum. And for
that, I need to identify all places where such objects are created and
destroyed. I thought that it would be easier to do from inside this
class.

I think it depends on what type of serialization is being used. Binary
serialization (using the BinaryFormatter class) does NOT call the
constructor when deserializing. Although I've not tried it myself, I believe
you can mark a method to be called during or after deserialization by using
the OnDeserializing Attribute or OnDeserializedA ttribute attributes. Try
searching for help on these attributes for more details.

Chris Jobson's post should get you sorted - but a minor point;
serialization applies to instances, so I doubt that the [NonSerialized]
on a *static* field makes any difference.

Hi to all,
I would like to know how .net manage the objects and what are the cicle of life of the objects...
Are the same this cicle, for the objects created in windows applications and for the web applications?
Any help will be grateful

I am doing quite a bit of custom painting and it means I have to
create a lot of brushes (think one for every file system object in a
directory) per paint. How expensive is this? Should I find a way to
create the brushes once, store them in an member variable, and use
them when I need them? Or is creating brushes a throw-away process
that doesn't take a lot of work?
Thanks for the info.

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.

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,...
