Deserialize Binary data between applications

[gcommerce2010]

Hi,

Here is the scenario;



1. I have a desktop application that utlizies a Binary field to store data about a quote

2. I have a Web Application that manages this program and the 50+ users.

3. This web application now stores in a SQL Database this Binary information and related information

4. I can successfully open any of these binary fields up from any of my users from my application.

5. I need the Web Application to open these up to be able to report on them, however I get the following error



Unable to find assembly '*******, Version=1.1.16.14, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.


Below is the code I use to serialize

 
// Serialize the Quote to a memory stream
            MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
            BinaryFormatter binFormatter = new BinaryFormatter();
            binFormatter.Serialize(memStream, quoteToAdd);
            // Get the memory stream buffer
            byte[] serializedQuote = memStream.GetBuffer();
 

Below is the code I use to deserialize

 // Deserialize the quote data from the database data            MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream((byte[])newQuote);            BinaryFormatter binFormatter = new BinaryFormatter();            // Use a SerializationBinder to handle versioning            binFormatter.Binder = new SteelPro_WebManagement.ShedProSerializationBinder();            theQuote = (SteelPro_WebManagement.Quote)binFormatter.Deserialize(memStream);
 // Deserialize the quote data from the database data
            MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream((byte[])newQuote);
            BinaryFormatter binFormatter = new BinaryFormatter();
 
            // Use a SerializationBinder to handle versioning
            binFormatter.Binder = new SteelPro_WebManagement.ShedProSerializationBinder();
 
            theQuote = (SteelPro_WebManagement.Quote)binFormatter.Deserialize(memStream);
 

Now ths code works fine on the desktop application however causes that error on Web Application





I have searched through here and google and not sure how to proceed. THANKS in advance

In the error message you removed the assembly name...is it just your assembly's name that you removed or is it another assembly's name?

It sounds like you're missing a component that should be installed on the web server but is missing.

@Frinavale
Well I think your right, however my Desktop app compiles into an exe and maybe it should compile to a DLL as well, I am not sure.

I removed the assembly name of the desktop app
