Serializing and Deserializing objects through to a web service.
-
Basically i have created a windows service for the purposes of logging events, exceptions etc to a central database. The windows service gets the objects (ie info object, warning object, excepiton object etc) from a MSMQ queue. Since I wanted to deploy the whole thing a bit easier (in case I needed to move it), I created a web service so that my other apps call the webservice with the message to log, and the webservice takes care of putting the object into the queue which is monitored by the windows service. Heres my question (finally). What are the rules for objects being deserialized and serialized, with respect to does the assembly doing the serializing need to know of the types it it serializing, or can it just know of the base type etc?
