Hello,
I have an object which has various properties, including one which is
of type DataSet.
I need to serialize this object in binary format, but I've discovered
that the BinaryFormatter will only format datasets in XML format.
I've read various articles on how to address the problem, including
the KB829740 article which talks about using a DataSetSurrogat e
class.
I'm not quite sure how this class would work in my
circumstance, because the sample it gives deals with the simple
case of just serializing a dataset, rather than serializing an
object that has a dataset.
Should I have a new property of type DataSetSurrogat e in my object
and pass the DataSet object in my class to this DataSetSurrogat e's
constructor? If so, how do I stop the existing DataSet from being
serialized?
Presumably, when I deserialise my object, I should use the
ConvertToDataSe t method of the DataSetSurrogat e property that
I get back to produce the original DataSet, right?
I would appreciate any answers/clarification I get on this subject.

Hello Greg,
I've read that article, but while it talks about a new class called
CompactFormatte r, it doesn't answer the very specific questions
I've asked about the use of the *DataSetSurroga te* class which is
what I am thinking of using. The questions (again) are:
To use the DataSetSurrogat e for a DataSet that is a property of an
object, should I have a new property of type DataSetSurrogat e in my object
and pass the DataSet object in my class to this DataSetSurrogat e's
constructor? If so, how do I stop the existing DataSet from being
serialized?
Presumably, when I deserialise my object, I should use the
ConvertToDataSe t method of the DataSetSurrogat e property that
I get back to produce the original DataSet, right?
TIA,
Akin

Hi all,
I try to create a tool to check the delta (diff) of 2
binaries and create the delta binary. I use binary
formatter (serialization) to create the delta binary. It
works fine but the delta binary is pretty huge in size. I
have 1 byte file and 2 bytes file, the delta should be 1
byte but somehow it turns out to be 249 bytes using binary
formatter. I guess serialization has some other things
added to the delta file.

I'm working on a project where I have to persist data to a file, rather than
to a database. Basically, I need to save the state of several classes, each
of which will have a couple of dozen instances. I have set it up to use
binary serialization to a single file, which works well. However, I have
learned that changes to my classes break the old serialized files.
While my object model is pretty stable, I am concerned that using binary...

Hi There.
This post is a extension of thread "Serialize or not to Serialize", on 5 of
December of 2006.
The reason why my teacher insists that a WS cannot return a Dataset is due
to low rate networks, not due to SOAP schemas. I think that's because a XML
Dataset is too large.
So, in my WS, I want to turn my dataset in some type of class, and then send

i read several articles about serialization. I know now that it is a process

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.
