Binary Serialization & Webserver

[Gilad Kapelushnik]

Hi I'm writing a small WebServer for as a project. I have a class called Pack1 that contians some properties which I want to send to the client. [Serializable] public class Pack1 : ISerializable { public float[] FloatArray1; public float[] FloatArray2; public Pack1(){ FloatArray1 = new float[10]; FloatArray2 = new float[10]; // // Set Data to these arays. // } public Pack1(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext ctxt) { FloatArray1 = (float[])info.GetValue("FloatArray1",typeof(float[])); FloatArray2 = (float[])info.GetValue("FloatArray2",typeof(float[])); } public void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext ctxt) { info.AddValue("FloatArray1",FloatArray1); info.AddValue("FloatArray2",FloatArray2); } } I use binary Serialization to for the process: [WebMethod] public byte[] Test_Func3(){ Pack1 P = new Pack1(); byte[] Buffer; IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter(); Stream stream = new MemoryStream(1024); formatter.Serialize(stream,P); Buffer = new byte[stream.Length]; stream.Seek(0,System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin); stream.Read(Buffer,0,Buffer.Length); return Buffer; } And, I have a Binder class to with with Deserialize: [Serializable] public sealed class Pack1Binder : System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationBinder { public Pack1Binder(){ } public override Type BindToType(string assemblyName, string typeName){ string[] typeInfo = typeName.Split('.'); string className = typeInfo[typeInfo.Length -1]; if (className.Equals("Pack1")) return typeof(Pack1); else return Type.GetType(string.Format("{0}, {1}",typeName, assemblyName)); } } and a small helper: [WebMethod] public System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationBinder GetSerializationBinder(){ System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationBinder binder = new Pack1Binder(); return (System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationBinder)binder; } Up until now everything is OK. The problem is when I deserialize the data on the other side. On the client Side I have: Service1 Ser = new Service1(); IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter(); Stream stream = new MemoryStream(1024 * 16); stream.Flush(); byte[] Buffer = Ser.Test_Func3(10); stream.Seek(0,System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin); stream.Read(Buffer,0,Buffer.Length); stream.Flush(); stream.Write(Buffer,0,Buffer.Length); stream.Seek(0,System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
