IDeserializationCallback and XmlSerializer

[Steve C.]

Is there a way to utilize the IDeserializationCallback
interface with the standard XmlSerializer? It does not
appear to be supported in this context.

IDeserializationCallback works fine when used with the
binary or SOAP formatters. Should I assume that a custom
formatter is needed to support IDeserializationCallback
when producing non-SOAP XML?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The IDeserializationCallback is only used by the runtime serializers, i.e.
the SoapFormatter and the BinaryFormatter. There isn't really any counter
part for the XmlSerializer.

What are you trying to accomplish, maybe I can suggest a work-around.

Christoph,

I wanted the same behavior of IDeserializationCallback
when deserializing non-SOAP XML files, namely, to call a
method when all child objects have been loaded.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

Unfortunately there is no way to implement this functionality with the
XmlSerializer.
