I have a similar class to the one shown below, with the main difference
that it has more properties.
Now I am using the enum to indicate what type of data current exists.
I am using XmlSerialization to transfer the data over Sockets
(TcpClient, TcpListener).
Now when data is arriving at destination, MessageType is always being
indicated as Number even if it is not a Number.
I tried to convert the order of Number and Text, and then MessageType
always indicated as being as Text.
Then I concluded that the first item in the enum is being set.
From what could the problem being caused, and how can I solve it?
Can someone help me out
Thanks in Advance
public enum MessageType {Number, Text};
[Serializable]
public class Transfer
{
private int num;
private string text;
private MessageType mtype;
public Transfer(){}
public Transfer(int number)
{
NumberMsg = number;
mtype = MessageType.Number;
}
public Transfer(string txt)
{
TextMsg = txt;
mtype = MessageType.Text;
}
public int NumberMsg
{
get
{
return num;
}
set
{
num = value;
}
}
public int TextMsg
{
get
{
return text;
}
set
{
text = value;
}
}
public MessageType TransferType
{
get
{
return mtype;
}
}
}
// sample code being used by server
TcpListener serverListener = new TcpListener(endPointSettings);
serverListener.Start();
TcpClient socket = serverListener.AcceptTcpClient();
Transfer transfer;
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Transfer));
transfer = (Transfer)ser.Deserialize(socket.GetStream());
if (transfer.TransferType == MessageType.Text)
{
Console.Writeline("Text");
}
else if (transfer.TransferType == MessageType.Number)
{
Console.Writeline("Number");
}
else
{
Console.Writeline("None");
}
// sample code used by client
TcpClient client = new TcpClient();
client.Connect(serverEndPoint);
Transfer t = new DistributionTransfer(5);
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Transfer));
Stream s = client.GetStream();
ser.Serialize(s, t);
s.Close();
